7. Maintenance
This session presents the clean tools and methods to maintain the printer.
For Cleaning
Depending on the media used, the printer may accumulate residues (media dust, adhesives, etc.) as a by-product of normal
printing. To maintain the best printing quality, you should remove these residues by cleaning the printer periodically. Regularly
clean the print head and supply sensors once change a new media to keep the printer at the optimized performance and extend
printer life.
For Disinfecting
Sanitize your printer to protect yourself and others and can help prevent the spread of viruses.
Important
-
Set the printer power switch to O (Off) prior to performing any cleaning or disinfecting tasks. Leave the power cord
connected to keep the printer grounded and to reduce the risk of electrostatic damage.
-
Do not wear rings or other metallic objects while cleaning any interior area of the printer.
-
Use only the cleaning agents recommended in this document. Use of other agents may damage the printer and void its
warranty.
-
Do not spray or drip liquid cleaning solutions directly into the printer. Apply the solution on a clean lint-free cloth and then
apply the dampened cloth to the printer.
-
Do not use canned air in the interior of the printer as it can blow dust and debris onto sensors and other critical
components.
-
Only use a vacuum cleaner with a nozzle and hose that are conductive and grounded to drain off static build up.
-
All reference in these procedures for use of isopropyl alcohol requires that a 99% or greater isopropyl alcohol content be
used to reduce the risk of moisture corrosion to the printhead.
-
Do not touch printhead by hand. If you touch it careless, please use 99% Isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
-
Always taking personal precaution when using any cleaning agent.
