Maintenance

Roller Cleaning

Since pressure seal forms leave paper dust, ink and toner residues, it is very important to occasionally clean the surface of the each roller to maintain its best condition for better performance.

1. Paper dust

• Use small air cleaner or dust remover.

2. Cleaning fold rollers

• Open the safety cover and slide out the upper cassette. With a piece of soft cloth, use alcohol or water to remove any ink contamination or toner residues on the surface of the fold rollers.

Caution Please do not use any other substance when cleaning the surface of the fold rollers as it may damage the rubber.

Maintenance

Roller Cleaning

3. Cleaning press rollers

• We suggest you hire a professional service technician for this task. If you are going to do it by yourself, please turn off the power or unplug the power cable.
• Clearing lower press roller: Open the safety cover of press roller as picture A. Then, please clean the press roller shown in picture B.
• Clearing upper press roller: Open the upper folding cassette as picture C and clean the press roller.
