3.1.1 Print Head
This chapter details the routine maintenance procedures.
To ensure the continuous high quality operation of your printer, you
should regularly perform these maintenance routines. Where the printer is
intensively used (high throughput) it should be done on a daily basis.
Where the printer is not intensively used (low throughput) it should be
done on a weekly basis.
To maintain the printer performance and print quality, please clean the
printer regularly, or whenever the media is replaced.
When the cutter is used, cleaning is required to keep printer and cutter
life after 1 roll is printed or the end of day.
1.
Turn the power off.
2.
Open the Top Cover.
3.
Clean the Print Head Element 1 time per day with a Cleaner Pen,
cotton swab or soft cloth slightly moistened with ethyl alcohol.
WARNING!
1. Be sure to turn OFF the
power before
performing any
maintenance. Failure to
do this may cause an
electric shock.
2. To avoid injury, be
careful not to trap your
fingers while opening or
closing the cover.
3. Be careful when
handling the print head
as it becomes very hot
during printing. Allow it
to cool before
performing any
maintenance.
4. Do not pour water
directly onto the printer.
CAUTION!
1. Do not allow any hard
objects to touch the print
head or platen, as this may
cause damage to them.
2. Do not use any volatile
solvents including thinner
and benzene, as this may
cause discoloration of the
cover, print failure, or
breakdown of the printer.
3. Do not touch the print head
element with bare hands, as
static may damage the print
head.
