In addition to the wearing of the Scan-Axis Motor, the friction in this area can increase due to the accumulation of ink particles and dust from the media or the atmosphere in the vicinity of the Slider Rods.

Scan-Axis maintenance requires the cleaning of the Slider Rods properly, and a lubricant to apply onto the Rods. Use the User's Slider Rods Lubrification Kit to do this.

1. Insert a new cleaning pad in the cleaning tool.

2. Apply 50 drops of the oil supplied to the pad.

3. Slide the cleaning tool along the Slider Rod until it is well oiled.

4. Replace the cleaning pad and repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second Slider Rod.
