7200 DAILY MAINTENANCE

3.1.3 Cleaning the Thermal Head

Clean the thermal head when replenishing a bin with documents or when changing the transfer ribbon. Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use thinner or

benzene.

Note!

Be careful not to injure your hands when cleaning the thermal head.

Using thinner or benzene to clean the thermal head will damage the head and may void your warranty.

A dirty thermal head lowers printing clarity.

The following explains how to clean the thermal head. Before cleaning the thermal head, remove the transfer ribbon. (See the "Changing Transfer Ribbons" section)

1. Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol.

2. Use the cotton swab to clean the thermal head. Rub the swab back and forth across the print head.

CAUTION

Avoid fire when using isopropyl alcohol to reduce the risk of burning.

Although the cleaning frequency depends on the operating conditions (quality of the paper media used, dusty atmosphere, etc.), you should clean the thermal head at least once every 5,000 documents.
