Print Module Handling
Warning
Print heads contained in the print modules can be damaged easily, and are subject to
premature failure if not properly handled. Careful handling must be exercised so as
not to damage the nozzle plate. Please follow the procedures carefully to help
ensure print module life and print quality. Because print modules may be damaged
through a number of ways, Paxar has developed the following recommendations;
Handling
ESD
Electro Static Discharge is very detrimental to print heads and PCBs. To avoid
damaging the components of a print module follow these simple procedures:
- Do not touch any terminals extending from the print modules.
- Do not touch the print head nozzle plates.
- Store the print modules near the printer to reduce the distance traveled
thereby reducing the risk of mechanical and electrical damage.
- Store the print modules in a low static environment.
- Store the print modules upright as ink spillage may occur otherwise.
