Maintenance and repair
BARTEC is not responsible for any damage caused to this printer
by the use of cleaning agents.
Regular preventive maintenance is an essential part of normal printing
operations. By taking care of your printer, you can minimise the occurrence of
potential problems while achieving and maintaining the desired print quality.
Over time, the movement of media or ribbon across the print head will wear away
the protective ceramic coating, exposing and possibly damaging the print
elements (dots). This is how wear and tear may be avoided:
Clean the print head regularly.
Minimise the pressure of the print head and the firing temperature
(blackening level) settings by optimising the balance between both of
them.
When using thermal transfer printing, ensure that the ribbon is at least as
wide as the media or wider to prevent the print head elements from being
exposed to the more abrasive label stock.
