Characteristics of the Thermal Printhead
CAUTION !
The thermal printhead is the most sensitive part of your printer.
Pay special attention to the following guidelines :
1) The glass cover on the printhead must not be touched with the hand.
Also, do not use sharp objects (knives, screwdrivers, etc) to clean the
printhead.
2) Ensure that the printhead is properly adjusted at all times.
3) Use only high quality media. Make sure that there are no high spots
or debris on your media to lodge on or damage the printhead. The
label surface must be smooth. Lower grade direct thermal paper is
very rough and will act like sandpaper on the head, reducing the
head's lifetime. Do not use low grade stock.
4) Clean the head at each change of ribbon, or with each new roll of
direct thermal media, with a special cleaning pen, or a cotton swab
with isopropyl alcohol.
5) Print with the lowest possible head temperature to increase the life of
the printhead.
Careful use will allow you to print approximately between 18 to 30 miles
(30 to 50 km) of print media before the printhead needs replacing.
Improper usage can cause damage to the printhead.
