Maintenance Procedures
The Maintenance Log contains maintenance procedures that are performed Every 4 Hours
of Operation, or are Daily Maintenance, Weekly Maintenance, Monthly Maintenance,
Quarterly Maintenance, Semi Annual Maintenance, and Annual Maintenance items.
Caution! You must read and understand the following documents prior to
operating or servicing this printer:
Printer Safety Guide: http://www.vuteksupport.com/doc.php?doc=683
Before Starting
Follow these guidelines for the most efficient maintenance routine.
Verify that you have all the materials required to complete each maintenance procedure.
Perform all maintenance tasks on a routine schedule.
When filling out the Maintenance Log, record the current date and time (if applicable), and write your initials in the space provided.
Perform maintenance activities either before or after printing.
The guidelines for maintenance are based on a production schedule of eight hours of
printing, five days per week. Adjust your maintenance intervals if your operating
shifts are longer than eight hours, five days per week.
Please keep your Printer Maintenance Log current. During service visits, a Field Service
Engineer often reviews your maintenance records.
Maintenance Log
The Printer Maintenance Log provides you with a list of preventive maintenance tasks, as
well as the means for tracking the completion of each task. The log has sections for
hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual maintenance
procedures.
Note: Use the Maintenance Log to record your completed maintenance
tasks.
