Section 6: Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
The Publisher is designed to operate for extended periods of
time with very little attention. In fact, no regular maintenance
is recommended other than cleaning the outside case.
NOTE:
Do NOT attempt to oil or grease the Publisher's Robotic Arm shaft
or other components. You will likely cause more harm than good!
Any moving parts are designed to operate for the life of the machine
with no additional lubrication required.
A. CLEANING THE PUBLISHER
Use a clean, lint-free rag with a small amount of ammonia
window cleaner to clean the Publisher's outside case and
trays. This type of cleaner is very effective on inks that may
accumulate on the printer tray. Stronger cleaning solutions are
NOT recommended because they may damage the paint and
plastic materials from which the parts are manufactured.
Always disconnect your Publisher's power cords before
cleaning. Resume operation only after the surfaces are
completely dry.
B. PERFORMING A ROBOTIC SELF-TEST
To ensure that everything is working properly, a Self-Test
feature is built in to your Publisher. In this mode, the Robotic
Disc Transporter will go through the motions of picking and
placing a disc to ensure proper working order. This test may be
performed without connecting the Publisher to the PC.
Perform the test by doing the following steps:
•
Load some discs into the Input Bin
•
The cover must be closed for this operation to complete.
However, in order to access the buttons you must open the
cover. To get around this problem simulate closing the
cover by activating the cover lock sensor. You may do this
by putting an object such as a folded piece of paper in the
slot where the lock would normally be located.
