3. PARTS REPLACEMENT

3.1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter explains the procedures for replacing and removing maintenance parts.

Important :

¾ Before replacing parts, be sure to perform following operations.

 Turn the power off. Make sure the printer is also powered off.

 Remove the electrical cable from the socket. Otherwise, you may

suffer electric shock or the machine’s electric circuits may be

damaged.

 Disconnect all cables from the machine. Not doing so could cause

damage to the printer.

Caution :

¾ Assembling and disassembling the unit are possible only for the parts for which

disassembling procedures are shown in the operation manual.

¾ Do not disassemble any frame parts or parts for which disassembling procedures

are not shown in the manual.

¾ Doing so may cause trouble that cannot be restored, as the unit is originally

assembled in the factory with a high accuracy of 1/100 mm.

Caution :

• In case you have replaced the front and/or rear media guide, always perform a

calibration of the front tensioning system and the roll-up systems. Because the new

media guide can have a slight different shape, thickness…

Notes :

¾ After replacing the parts, perform the adjustment of the unwinder / winder 100 as

described in the User’s Guide.
