Cleaning the Carriage Cable

The carriage cable should be cleaned monthly to remove normal build-up of dirt, oils, or 

ink on the cable. Additionally, the cable should be checked for cleaning or adjustment if 

carriage speed/encoder errors occur.   

To clean the carriage cable, perform the following tasks:

1.

Open the top door of the printer.

2.

Clean the exposed cable over the platen using a clean cloth with isopropyl alcohol.

3.

From the operator panel, access the carriage to move it to the left end of the printer.

4.

Clean the exposed cable over the platen using a clean cloth with isopropyl alcohol.

5.

From the operator panel, park the carriage over the capping station.

Note:

Always wear gloves when handling the carriage cable. Handling the carriage cable 

with bare hands can result in the build-up of oils on the cable, which can lead to 

carriage speed/encoder errors.
