HP DesignJet 5000 Series Printers Service Manual
Moisture on the Printer
Users should use the Printer in an environment between 20% and 
80% relative humidity. To recover from moisture condensation, turn 
the Printer Off, and, using the main Roller as a reference, wait until 
the Printer is completely dry before using it again.
Noisy Carriage Bushing
To prevent noisy movement of the Carriage, remove aluminum or 
dust particles from the bushing at the back of the Carriage, and from 
the Slider Rods along which the bushing moves. Use the User’s 
Slider Rods Lubrification Kit to do this - see the User’s Guide.
Belt Swelling
To prevent new Belts from swelling incorrectly, keep them in their 
bags with desiccant until you need to install them.
General Cleaning
To maintain the Printer in good operating condition, keep it free of 
dust accumulation, ink, and other contamination. Cleaning intervals 
are determined by the Printer environment and by the types of 
Printer supplies used. Proper general cleaning should include the 
following:
Blow away dust accumulation with compressed air if available.
Clean the outer surface of the Printer with a damp sponge or cloth. 
Use a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Do not use abrasive 
cleaners.
Wipe the Printer dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
