Operator Maintenance Schedule
The Arizona 500 printer requires daily maintenance. Periodic cleaning should be scheduled
for some components during the week. A few minutes spent cleaning ensures the highest
quality prints. Several areas require maintenance to ensure the highest print quality, and the
printer design gives you easy access to all these areas. Diligent application of the Arizona 500
Printer Operator Maintenance Schedule Guidelines ensures optimum performance from
your printer.
