Keeping your printer a top performer

Introduction

By performing regular cleaning, you ensure that your printer produces the highest quality prints.

Regular cleaning also helps prevent paper jams, smudged or streaked prints and misregistration.

Cleaning the printer is easy; just follow the procedures given in the next few pages.

When to clean

Every time you replace the transfer roll, and whenever printing appears streaked, or media feeds

improperly, clean these parts:

Thermal head

Paper-feed rollers

Paper-pick rollers

Clean these printer parts every 5,000 prints:

Transfer roll sensor pad

Drum

Exit rollers

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

Vertical streaks on prints. Clean the thermal head.

Missing areas of primary colors (cyan,

magenta, yellow, black).

Important notes about cleaning

❑

Use isopropyl alcohol to clean your printer. It can be purchased at your local pharmacy. You

can also use cleaning wipes that are pre-saturated with isopropyl alcohol (Tektronix order

number 006-7824-00).

❑

90% isopropyl alcohol is recommended. If you use alcohol that is less than 90% pure, allow

extra time for the paper-feed, paper-pick and exit rollers to dry.

❑

Before cleaning any part except the paper-pick rollers: Dampen a lint-free wipe with isopropyl

alcohol.

Cleaning kit

A cleaning kit is shipped with the printer (Tektronix order number 016-1233-00). You will need the

contents of the cleaning kit to perform the cleaning procedures on the next few pages:

Lint-free cleaning wipes

A plastic bottle for isopropyl alcohol

A cleaning tray for cleaning paper-pick rollers

the entire surface of the

one direction only prevents

dirt from being re-introduced

to the thermal head.
