Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Printer
56 EasyCoder PD42 Printer User’s Guide
• Is the transfer ribbon properly loaded so it does not
interfere with the LSS? (see “Loading Thermal Transfer
Ribbon” on page 19 ).
• Are the LSS guides clean, or are there partial labels or
residue stuck on them? If so, clean as described in the next
section.
• Does the media have some kind of preprint that can make
detection harder?
• Is there too little difference between the black marks and
the surrounding areas?
• Is the label liner not transparent enough?
• Does the LSS work with another type of media?
(Remember to change the Media Type setup and perform
a new Testfeed.)
Maintaining the Printer
In order to attain high productivity and a long life for your
printer, Intermec recommends that you regularly inspect the
printer and its environment to ensure that it is operated under
optimal conditions.
Keep the printer in a dry area, away from larger electrical motors,
welders and similar which might affect printer operation.
Clean your printer regularly, as described in the procedures
below, in order to maintain the quality of your labels and extend
the life of your printer.
If you open the electronics cover, you will void the warranty
and may cause damage to the internal components. Opening
the electronics cover exposes the user to shock hazards which
may result in injury or death.
Always unplug the power cord before cleaning the printer.
