CLEAN THE ENCODER STRIP
NOTE: The images shown below are from the representative product. Your model may look different from the picture.
1. Locate a lint free cloth such as a T-shirt, DRY eye glass cleaner cloth, DRY monitor cloth or wash cloth.
DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF PAPER PRODUCTS (EX: paper towel, tissue paper, napkin, filter, news paper etc.) This will help ensure that the dirt will be removed from the encoder strip.
2. Lift the scanner cover using the plastic tabs, located on the left and right side of the machine until it locks securely into the open position.
3. Confirm the location of the print head. If it is in the middle or to the left side, using your fingers, slide the print head over to the right side under the cover to make sure you clean the entire encoder strip.
4. The encoder strip is the clear plastic strip located in front of the white vinyl band. (Outlined in red as shown in the picture below).
NOTE: There is a warning in the machine to not touch the strip; however, this warning is to stop users from touching the strip with fingers because of the oils on your skin. It is OK to touch and clean the strip with a lint free cloth.
5. With the lint free cloth, firmly grab the encoder strip on both sides and rub the cloth down the strip from one end to the other (left to right then right to left) at least three times. In most cases, you have to rub firmly and aggressively to completely clean the strip and resolve the issue. The encoder strip is very flexible, durable and has slack so do not be afraid of breaking the strip. It does not easily break.
NOTE: After cleaning the encoder strip for the second time and if you have already checked for foreign material, go to STEP 11.
6. Clean encoder strip from right to left. Make sure to stop just before the left corner.
7. Clean encoder strip from left to right. Make sure to stop just before the right corner.
CHECK FOR FOREIGN OBJECTS
8. After thoroughly cleaning the encoder strip, look inside the machine and in the two corners for jammed paper or foreign objects and remove them if any are found. Pieces of paper may be jammed under the print head.
- If the print head is locked to the right side of the machine, press and hold the STOP/EXIT key for 5 seconds. This will cause the print head to move automatically to the middle of the machine and allow you to look for debris in the right corner.
- If you physically moved the print head under the cover when cleaning the encoder strip, move the print head back to the middle with your fingers to allow you to look for debris in the right corner.
9. Leave the scanner OPEN and turn the machine around so you are looking at the back of the machine. Open the Jam Clear Cover (1) and look inside the machine and remove any jammed paper; then close the Jam Clear Cover(1).
NOTE: In some cases, the paper tray may need to be removed to allow for the jammed paper to be removed.
10. Turn the machine back around to the front. Close the scanner cover by lifting the scanner cover to release the lock. Gently push the green scanner cover support down and then close the cover.
