Maintenance and Troubleshooting
D. CLEANING THE GUIDE SHAFTS AND ENCODER STRIP
The Guide Shafts and the Encoder Strip should be inspected regularly
for debris and then cleaned, if necessary. The Guide Shafts are the
metal bars upon which the Carrier travels. The Encoder Strip is a
transparent strip of plastic with small vertical lines. The Carrier counts
the lines to determine where it is on the Guide Shafts.
If the Guide Shafts are dirty, the smooth motion of the Carrier could be
affected. This can cause print quality issues. If the Encoder Strip
becomes dirty, the Carrier can have a difficult time determining where
to start/stop printing. This will cause the printing to be located
improperly on the label.
Cleaning the Upper and Lower Guide Shafts. With a soft cloth soaked
with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, scrub the Guide Shafts clean. It is
important to clean all surfaces in contact with the Carrier Wheels.
Cleaning the encoder strip. With a soft cloth soaked with isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol, pinch the Encoder Strip with the cloth. Gently move
the cloth back and forth along the Encoder Strip. Move the carrier out
of the way to reach the entire length of the Encoder Strip. Carefully
visually verify that no debris remains on the Encoder Strip.
