Appendix D - Maintenance / Cleaning /
Adjustment of the Printhead
The printers of the Apollo 4 series require only a minimum of maintenance.
It is most important to clean the printhead on a regular basis. This will
guarantee a permanent high quality of the print image. Moreover, it helps to
prevent an early wear of the printhead.
Apart from that, the servicing only requires you to clean the outside of the
printer occassionally.
Before starting any maintenance, switch the printer OFF and disconnect it
from the power supply !
General Cleaning
While operating, dust accumulates especially within the printer mechanism.
Remove dirt and dust regularly using a soft brush or a vacuum.
The cover of the Apollo 4 may be cleaned using standard cleanser.
Do not use abrasive cleaning powders or solvents !
Cleaning the Media Feed Rollers
Accumulations of dirt on the media feed rollers or the guides may impair the
media transport and the print quality.
Clean the rollers as follows :
1. Lift the printhead.
2. Remove the label stock and transfer ribbon from the printer.
3. Remove all accumulations of dirt and dust with isopropyl alcohol and a soft
cloth.
