Maintenance
The UBI EasyCoder 91 printers are manufactured and
tested under a strict quality management program. Only
high quality components and materials are used in the
printers. Although only minimal maintenance is required,
following these simple maintenance procedures will en-
sure longer life with quality printing performance.
Keep your EasyCoder 91 clean by periodically wiping
it with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use
abrasive cleaners or solvents as they will scratch the sur-
face.
We recommend using the special Cleaning Card (part
number 1-110071-00) and the procedures below to clean
the printhead before loading each new roll of labels or
tags.
1
Turn off the power to the printer.
2
Unload the paper stock.
3
In case of thermal transfer printing, also remove the
transfer ribbon.
4
Open the pouch and pull out the cleaning card. Be
careful not to tear the card inside!
5
Insert the cleaning card into the print mechanism the
same way as when loading the paper. Allow
approximately 2–3 cm (1") of the cleaning card to
extend in front of the printhead.
6
Lower the thermal printhead to operating position.
7
Use one hand to hold the printer and the other hand to
pull the cleaning card forward, until the entire card has
been pulled free.
8
Repeat steps 5 – 7 a second time.
9
Dispose properly of the used cleaning card and reload
the paper and ribbon stocks.
