1. Clean the print rails.
Use a lint free cloth dampened with Isopropyl Alcohol to clean the 4 bearing
races on the rails that the print head carriage travels on.
Use a lint free cloth dampened with a sewing machine oil, 3-in-1, or WD40 and
wipe the bearing races to apply a very light coating of oil.
Move the print head across the rails and listen for loud noise, squeaks, or
binding of the carriage. If any of these are experienced, repeat the cleaning
process. If this is not corrected, replacement of the carriage and/or bearings
maybe required.
2. Clean the print head latching mechanism.
Clean the latch kicker, the latch, and the solenoid plunger. Refer to our support
page to view a video for the easy removal of these parts. Do not use solvent or
flush. Parts should move freely with little to no resistance. Dry graphite is the
ideal lubricant for these mechanisms, as a wet oil will more readily collect dust
and over-spray.
