Maintenance
To keep your LQ working like new, always keep it in a safe and
clean place. Keep it away from dust, grease, and any heat sources. A
safe temperature range is 41°F to 95°F.
To clean the outside of the printer case, use a soft, clean cloth damp-
ened with clear water. Stubborn stains can be removed with non-
abrasive household cleaners.
The inside front portion of the printer should also be cleaned peri-
odically to get rid of dust and paper lint. First, turn the power switch
OFF and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet. Then
remove the dust cover.
Use a small vacuum cleaner and soft brush to clean inside the
printer. Be careful not to bend or damage any of the parts inside the
printer. With the power OFF, you can move the print head back and
forth to clean under it.
Once in a great while your LQ should be lubricated by an autho-
rized Epson dealer.
Changing the print head
The expected life of an LQ print head is about
200
million strokes.
See your Epson dealer for replacements. If the print head fails sud-
denly or long before its estimated lifetime is over, the problem is prob-
ably in another component of the printer. Take the LQ to your dealer
for service.
Removing the old print head
Be sure the power is OFF before you touch the print head. If you
have been printing, wait about 15 minutes to allow the print head to
cool.
