10 NCR RealPOS 7199 Thermal Receipt Station Printer
Cleaning the Printer
Cleaning the Cabinet
The external cabinet materials and finish are durable and resistant to these items:
• Cleaning solutions
• Lubricants
• Fuels
• Cooking oils
• Ultraviolet light
The 7199 Thermal Receipt Station Printer does not require a scheduled maintenance.
Clean the cabinet as needed to remove dust and finger prints. Use any household
cleaner designed for plastics, but test it first on a small unseen area. If the receipt bucket
is dirty, wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.
Cleaning the Thermal Print Head
Caution: Do not spray or try to clean the thermal print head or the inside of the printer
with any kind of cleaner as this may damage the thermal print head and electronics.
If the thermal print head appears dirty, wipe it with cotton swabs and isopropyl alcohol.
If spotty or light printing problems persist after the thermal print head has been cleaned,
refer to
Troubleshooting Problems on page 27.
Note: The thermal print head does not normally require cleaning if the recommended
paper grades are used. If non–recommended paper has been used for an extended
period of time, cleaning the print head with cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol will not
be of much benefit. For more information on the recommended paper, refer to
Ordering
Paper and Supplies on page 5.
