Cleaning
WARNING!
THE TABBER AND FEEDER ARE PRECISION MACHINES THAT
SHOULD BE CLEANED REGULARLY TO INSURE MANY YEARS OF
SERVICE. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE,
DISCONNECT THEM FROM THEIR POWER SOURCE!
The Tabber and Feeder must be cleaned regularly to remove accumulated paper dust and ink.
Depending on the types of media run, paper dust may accumulate within machines and on the
transport. To clean, unplug both machines from the power receptacle and remove the covers.

Internal areas
: Clean with a vacuum with a soft brush attachment to help loosen the dust
particles. Take care not to damage the PC Boards or electrical wiring.
x
Exterior:
Clean with any standard non-abrasive household cleaner which does not
contain plastic-harming solvents.
CAUTION
NEVER SPRAY OR POUR CLEANERS DIRECTLY ON OR INTO THE
TABBER OR FEEDER. EXCESS LIQUID COULD HARM ELECTRONIC
PARTS. ALWAYS DAMPEN A RAG WITH THE CLEANER AND APPLY
IT TO THE PARTS TO BE CLEANED.
Rollers and Transport Belts
Belts and Rollers can become glazed with paper lint and ink from the media. Clean regularly
with a mild abrasive household cleaner on a damp cloth.
Avoid using solvents on Rubber Rollers.
Cleaning the Sensors
There are three Sensors in the Tabber; the
Media Sensor
located above the table of the Tabber,
the
Tab Sensor
on the applicator head and
Tab Web Sensor
in the transport area. These sensors
should be clean and free of accumulated paper dust. Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment
or dry compressed air to remove the dust.
WARNING!
DO NOT USE ABRASIVES OR LIQUIDS OF ANY KIND ON THE SENSOR LENS
