The ASTROJET 2600P/2800P
WARNING
THE PRINTER IS A PRECISION MACHINE THAT SHOULD BE CLEANED
REGULARLY TO INSURE MANY YEARS OF SERVICE. BEFORE PERFORMING
ANY MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM ITS POWER SOURCE!
The Printer must be cleaned regularly of accumulated paper dust and ink. Depending on the types of media that are
run, paper dust may accumulate within the printer and on the transport. To properly clean the printer, unplug it from
the power receptacle and remove the covers.
The internal areas are best cleaned with a vacuum that has a soft brush attachment to help loosen the dust particles.
Take care not to damage the PC Boards or electrical wiring.
The exterior of the machine may be cleaned with any standard household cleaner, which is non-abrasive and does
not contain plastic harming solvents.
CAUTION
NEVER SPRAY OR POUR CLEANERS DIRECTLY ON OR INTO THE
PRINTER. EXCESS LIQUID COULD HARM ELECTRONIC PARTS. ALWAYS
DAMPEN A RAG WITH THE CLEANER AND APPLY IT TO THE PARTS TO
BE CLEANED.
Feed Rollers and Forwarding Rollers
The feed and forwarding rollers can become glazed with paper lint and ink from the media. They should be
regularly cleaned with a mild abrasive household cleaner on a damp cloth.
Avoid using solvents on the rubber rollers.
Cleaning the Media Sensor
Periodically check the media sensor located in the print carriage area of the printer section. The sensor should be
clean and free of accumulated paper dust. Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment or dry compressed air to
remove the dust.
