Printhead
Cleaning the print head
1. Switch off the device.
2. Pull out the mains plug.
3. Remove material and ribbon.
4. Unscrew the two thumb screws on the print head mounting until the entire
printhead mounting can be rotated upwards on the contact shaft.
CAUTION! - The printhead is a sensitive electronic component and can be
damaged by electrostatic charges. Therefore, discharge any bodily static
electricity before coming into contact with the print head by touching the
base plate of the printer. The printhead does not need to be removed. Mark
the position of the printhead on the axle, if it is not flushed against the inner
or outer plastic ring.
5. Clean the print head using a dust-free cloth and cleaning fuel.
Fig. 1 Cleaning of the printhead – the
printhead needs not to be
unplugged (Fig: Dispenser
version).
CAUTION! - Do not use any objects with sharp edges. Metal objects may
never be allowed to come into contact with the print head surface!
6. After cleaning, return the print head mounting to its old position and
retighten the thumb screws.
Press the thumb screw on the tapered edge of the square axle and ensure
the exact positioning of the print head mounting on the axle. Also pay
attention to the position of the print head in relation to the edge of the label.
Basic factory settings: Flush against the inner black plastic plug.
7. Before switching on the device, check whether the print head cable is still
properly connected. If this is not the case, plug in the cable correctly.
