4.1 Overview
This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.
4.1.1 Cleaning
Except for the printhead, there are no other mechanical parts or units that require periodic cleaning. However, if
need arises, clean the component observing the following instructions.
 Instructions for cleaning

Exterior parts such as housing
Wipe dirt off with a soft clean cloth moistened with water. For glossy or transparent parts, use of unwoven cloth is
recommended to avoid scratching those parts.
 Inside of the printer
Remove paper dust with a vacuum cleaner.
 Rubber or plastic rollers such as an LD roller/Pickup Roller used to feed paper
If paper dust adhered to the rollers decreases the frictional force of the rollers and the rollers cannot properly feed
paper, wipe off the paper dust with a soft cloth moistened with diluted alcohol.
 Instructions for cleaning ink stains
Wipe the stains off with a cloth wrung out of diluted alcohol.
4.1.2 Lubrication
The type and amount of the grease used to lubricate the printer parts are determined based on the results of the
internal evaluations. Therefore, refer to "4.2 Lubrication Points and Instruction (p84)" for the repairing
procedures below, and apply the specified type and amount of the grease to the specified part of the printer
mechanism.
 Grease
 Tools
Note *: Use tools whose specifications are specified in "4.2 Lubrication Points and Instruction (p84)".
In this manual, the product name is abbreviated to such as “WP-4510 series”, however, the
last digit of the actual name may differ. Identify your product with the first three digits and
refer to the appropriate sections in this manual.
 Do not use alcohol for cleaning the transparent parts. Doing so may cause them to get
cloudy.
 When wiping paper dust off the LD roller/Pickup Roller, be careful not to rub against the
surface asperity.
 To minimize the effect on the parts, use diluted alcohol such as 70% diluted ether.
 After using alcohol for cleaning, make sure to wipe the part off with a soft dry dust-free
cloth to remove alcohol traces fully.
