SIDE AIR FILTER REMOVAL & REPLACEMENT
The LabeLase® 28XX printer includes a light-duty foam filter element, intended for use in a normal office
environment. It is not intended to protect the printer from industrial contaminants or vapors, typical of a
factory or mill environment.
As the filter element accumulates dust and pollen over time, air flow through the printer may be reduced.
This may cause excessive dust to accumulate on the internal optics (lenses and mirrors), which may shorten
their life considerably. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the filter and determine the
appropriate cleaning frequency for your specific environment.
At high duty cycles when printing large batches of tags with a high percentage of black (printed) area,
reduced air flow may also cause the internal temperature sensor to automatically shutdown the laser tube
until it cools back to its normal operating temperature – this is normal.
The filter cover is located on the sides of the printer, and is held in place by snap on covers.
Carefully blow any lint or dust off the filter, or gently wash it in soap and water. Dry the filter thoroughly
before reinstalling.
Be sure to replace the filter element into the cover plate correctly. It fits only one way.
