Care and Maintenance
The
LF700
Digital cutter range has a number of sliding surfaces made of smooth metals and
plastics. They are virtually friction-free and require no lubrication. They will, however, collect dust and lint
that may affect the cutter’s performance. Keep the cutter as clean as possible by using a dust cover.
When necessary, clean the unit with a soft cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent.
Do not use abrasives. Vacuum paper dust from the machine every day if the machine is being used in con-
stant production.
Cleaning the drive system.
Over time, the sleeves of the drive drum may become clogged with accumulated residue from the
media liner. This may cause the media to slip between the pinch rollers and the drive sleeves, decreasing
traction.
Cleaning the drive system:
1. Make sure there is no media loaded in the cutter.
2. Switch cutter off and disconnect the cutter from the mains. Raise the pinch rollers.
3. Using a soft brushed hoover, remove all of the paper dust located in and around the cutter.
3. Clean the media sensor by wiping them out with dry cotton swabs.
Paper Dust
Some label materials especially glossy coated stocks, generate an excessive amount of paper and ink
or toner dust whilst travelling through the
iColor
LF700
Digital cutter, this can accumulate around the
cutting head and especially inside the OPOS sensor. We strongly recommend that the machine be cleaned
on a regular basis, especially after a long production run of label cutting. The best tool to remove the paper
dust from the machines chassis is a hoover with a brush end and compressed air for the OPOS sensor and
cutting area, gently tapping the sensor up and down can also help dislodge any paper dust. If a large build
up of paper dust occurs this can have an effect on the registration and cut accuracy of the machine, in
extreme instances the OPOS sensor becomes unable to register the difference between white paper and
black registration marks.
Adhesive Build up
Keep the machine clear of all adhesive build up, adhesive will not only get into the key components
of the machine but will also affect tracking and alignment of the media throughout the machine.
