_________________________ Maintenance and Specifications 9-3
Introduction
Your Accel-a-Writer 8300 is designed for minimal maintenance.
This chapter describes how to care for your printer and contains the
technical specifications and warranty for your printer.
Maintenance
Your printer requires minimal maintenance. Handling the printer
with care and regular cleaning should ensure that it remains in good
working order.
Handling the Printer
Always treat your printer with care. Proper care can extend the life
of the printer. When you are handling your printer, keep the
following things in mind:
•Never move the printer with the toner cartridge installed.
• Do not place anything on top of the printer.
• Always have someone help you lift the printer. It weighs
approximately 44 lbs (19.98 kg).
• Always lift the printer by the bottom—never by the cartridge
slot or manual feed tray.
• Only use media which meets all the printer’s requirements. See
“Media Specifications” in chapter 7 for details.
• Make sure the printer’s location meets the requirements listed in
“Printer Location” in chapter 2.
• Protect the printer from strong vibrations or jostling.
• Do not open the front cover while printing. This may cause a
paper jam.
• Never oil the printer.

9-4 Maintenance and Specificationsbb ________________________
• Make sure that air vents are not covered and that air can move
freely around them. Never insert anything into the vents.
• Make sure the output tray does not overfill. Overfilling can block
media as it comes out and cause a printer jam.
• If the printer will not be used for an extended period (over
several days), unplug the power cord from the power source,
close the manual feed tray, and cover the printer with protective
plastic or a cloth.
• Store the printer only 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.
Moving the Printer
Use the following guidelines when moving the printer.
•Never move the printer with the toner cartridge installed.
Remove the cartridge and place it in its original bag 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 toner before placing the cartridge
back in the printer. For details, see “Handling the Toner
Cartridge” in chapter 7.
• Make sure the top cover and manual feed tray are closed.
• Remove all interface cables and the power cord.
• If a SCSI disk is attached, remove it.
• Always have help when you lift the printer. It weighs
approximately 44 lbs. (19.98 kg).

Cleaning the Printer
Your printer requires minimal cleaning. The most convenient time to
clean the printer is when you install a new toner cartridge.
To clean your printer
1. Turn off your printer and disconnect it from the power source.
2. Remove the toner cartridge. (See “The Toner Cartridge” in
chapter 2 for details.)
3. Locate the static charge eliminator and clean any paper dust or
scrap residue from it using the green cleaning brush located
inside the top cover area on the left (fig. 10.1). To do this,
gently run the brush back and forth across the eliminator
several times.

9-6 Maintenance and Specificationsbb ________________________
4. Locate the transfer guide and clean off any dust and paper
residue by wiping the area with a soft, dry, lint-free, clean
cloth (fig. 10.2).
Fig. 10.2 Clean the Transfer Guide
5. Install the new toner cartridge and close the printer. (See “The
Toner Cartridge” in chapter 2 for details.)
6. Clean the printer’s exterior using a clean, lint-free cloth
dampened with water, denatured alcohol, or a mild,
water-based 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 plastic case.
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, or
power cord areas.
7. Give the printer a few minutes for any damp areas to dry
thoroughly. Then, reconnect the printer to the power source.

Printer Memory Requirements
Memory requirements vary depending on the print resolution, media
size, and duplexing mode. Negative image and NEIT printing require
full image buffering.
The following chart lists the minimum available memory required to
print typical configurations. Available memory is equal to the total
RAM installed minus the amount of RAM Disk enabled (see chapter
8 for details). Complex files, large files or those with heavy graphics
may require more than the standard memory to print.
