Introduction

Your Accel-a-Writer 812 is designed for minimal maintenance. The

basic requirements for keeping the printer in good working order

involves little more than handling it with care and cleaning it

occasionally. This chapter covers these simple tasks and provides a

list of consumable parts and service information.

Handling the Printer

Always treat your printer with care. This not only protects the printer

but can extend its life. When you are handling your printer, keep the

following things in mind:

• Do not place anything on top of the printer.

• Always have someone help you lift the printer. It weighs

approximately 43 lbs (19.4 kg) with toner and a cassette or

56 lbs (25.4 kg) with an optional lower cassette.

• Always lift the printer by the bottom—never by a cassette

slot or the universal cassette cover.

• Only use media which meets all the requirements for your

laser printer. See “Media Handling” in chapter 6 for details

on selecting and handling media.

• Make sure the location of the printer meets the

requirements listed in the “Printer Location” section of

chapter 2.

• Protect the printer from strong vibrations or jostling.

• Do not open the printer while printing. This may cause a

paper jam.

• Do not push down or place heavy objects on the fold down

tray.

8-4 Maintenancebb _______________________________________

• Make sure that the printer’s air vents are not covered and

that the air can move freely around those areas. Also,

never insert anything into the vents.

• Make sure the output tray does not overfill. Overfilling can

block media as it comes out of the printer and cause a jam.

• If the printer will not be used for an extended period (over

several days), unplug the power cord from the power

source, leave the toner cartridge installed, and close the

fold down tray. Then, after the printer cools, cover it with

protective plastic or a cloth.

• If the printer is stored, make sure it is in an area with a

temperature of 32˚ to 95˚ F (0˚ to 35˚ C) and a relative

humidity of 10% to 80% with no condensation.

• Do not oil the printer. This could cause permanent

damage.

If any of the following situations arise, contact your vendor or

XANTÉ for service by a qualified technician:

• If the power cord is damaged or frayed

• If the printer gets wet

• If the printer is dropped or damaged

• If you notice unusual sound or odors coming from the

printer

• If the printer operates erratically even when you follow

instructions and procedures covered in this manual

Moving the Printer

If you move the printer farther than just across a table or room, you

need to do several things to protect it. Before moving the printer:

• Remove the toner cartridge and place it in the bag in which

it was shipped to protect it from light. If you no longer

have this bag, place the cartridge in a dark bag or wrap it

in a dark cloth.

• Make sure the toner cartridge stays level during the move.

Then, rock it gently to redistribute the toner before placing

the cartridge back in the printer. For details, see

“Redistributing Toner” in chapter 6.

• Make sure all printer covers and the fold down tray are

securely closed.

• Remove all interface cables and the power cord. Also, if a

SCSI disk is attached, remove it too.

• Always have help when you lift the printer. It weighs

approximately 37 lbs. (16.8 kg) without consumables and

options installed.

Cleaning the Printer

Your Accel-a-Writer 812 printer requires very little in the way of

cleaning. This includes cleaning the exterior of the printer, cleaning

the anti-static teeth, and cleaning the transfer guide area. Usually the

most convenient time to do this is when you install a new toner

cartridge.

Cleaning the Exterior

Use the following procedure to clean the exterior of your printer:

1. Turn off your printer and disconnect it from the power source

and any interface cables.

8-6 Maintenancebb _______________________________________

2. Wipe the exterior with a soft, lint-free, clean cloth dampened

with a neutral (without abrasives, ammonia, or chlorine)

detergent.

Caution: Never use ammonia-based cleaners on or around

the printer. This may cause permanent damage to

the toner cartridge or to the printer’s case. Also,

never spray or pour solutions directly on the

printer. Always put the solution on the cloth and

wipe the printer with the cloth. Make sure the

solution does not get inside the printer, ports, air

vents, or power cord areas.

3. Wipe the printer dry with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.

4. Give the printer a few minutes for any damp areas to dry

thoroughly.

5. Reconnect any interface cables and the power cord.

Cleaning the Anti-Static Teeth

You should clean the anti-static teeth when you change the toner

cartridge or if paper jams frequently occur.

1. Turn the printer off.

2. Open the top cover by pressing the raised finger grips and

lifting up and back approximately 180˚ (fig. 8.1).

4. Clean any paper dust or paper residue from the anti-static teeth

using the following procedure:

a. Locate and remove the green cleaning brush inside the

right side of the printer (fig. 8.2).

b. Locate the anti-static teeth and slide the cleaning brush

back and forth across them several times to remove

residue (fig. 8.2).

c. Replace the brush in the right side of the printer.

5. Reinstall the toner cartridge or a new cartridge and close the

printer. (See “Installing the New Cartridge” in chapter 6 for

details.)

6. Reconnect the printer to the power source.

Cleaning the Transfer Guide Area

You should clean the transfer guide area when you change the toner

cartridge or if you notice a deterioration in print quality.

1. Turn the printer off.

2. Open the top cover by pressing the raised finger grips and

lifting up and back approximately 180˚.

3. Remove the toner cartridge. (See “Removing the Old

Cartridge” in chapter 6 for details.)

4. Wipe off any dust, toner, or paper residue in the silver colored

metal strip in the transfer guide area (fig. 8.3) using a soft, dry,

lint-free cloth.
