CLEANING AND STORING PLATES
CLEANING PLATES
Static electricity on the plates surface, attracts paper residue from packaging, airborne dust and
dirt. Printing on such plates without cleaning them first, may cause poor print results and may
even scratch the print head.
1) Remove any eventual burr you may find on the plate edges.
2) Clean both sides of the plate. Use a soft, damp cloth and then thoroughly wrung out to wipe
away finger prints and grease. Make sure the plate is completely dry before loading it in the
printer.
STORING PLATES
The way plates are stored effects their surface and the print quality.
For this reason it is recommended to observe the instructions listed below:
❑
Store plates in plastic bags to protect them from dust and dirt.
❑
Place plates on a flat surface to prevent them from bending or warping.
❑
Store plates at a temperature from 0°C to 40°C, and 10% to 85% RH. Temperatures
higher than these ones, even for a short time, will cause plates to bend or warp.
❑
Don’t leave the items in the car.

CORRECT USE OF THE SYSTEM
Follow carefully the instructions for the correct HTP600
printer utilization:
1) Only items supplied by TE and tested for the HTP600 can be used.
2) Before inserting an item into the printer, verify that it is flat with no curve.
3) Before inserting an item into the printer, verify that the item’s surface has no dirt, dust, steel
or anything else that might compromise the head functioning.
4) In the case the HTP600
printer gets stuck, utilize only the “REMOVE” function from the
control panel to take out the item. Never take out a stuck item with strength. This operation
might compromise the printer functioning.
5) Never modify the initial resistant value set by the supplier. This operation might compromise
the right head functioning.
6) To obtain the best print quality correctly set the HTP600
printer depending on the different
item’s typologies (as in the instructions of this user’s guide). A non-correct setting doesn’t allow
the best print quality and might compromise the correct head functioning.
7) Do not try to fix or tamper; utilize only original accessories and spare parts.
