Maintenance Schedule
The Easyprint Compact printers do not require component replacement as part of a
preventative maintenance routine. We recommend regular checks to ensure optimum
performance is maintained and to allow any parts requiring future replacement to be identified
early.
Frequency
Recommended Actions
Regularly
(or if print quality
deteriorates)
Check condition and clean Print Head and Rubber capstan
roller each time the ribbon is replaced (or at least once per
day).
Check condition of the rubber platen / rubber roller within the
printer bracket. the rubber surface must be smooth, flat and
free of debris. This should be a weekly check.
As part of any fault finding routine, check that settings such as
‘Contrast’ and ‘Print Head Pressure’ have not been modified
in away from the original values. Once set, these settings do
not generally need to be changed. Any changes may have
been made to compensate for other problems. For example,
the contrast or pressure settings may have been set higher to
compensate for a print head that needs cleaning.
Every Year
Check condition of the Ribbon guide rollers (including those
on the dancing arms). Check that the plastic rollers rotate
smoothly.
