Maintenance and Adjustments

5.0Introduction

This chapter contains information about maintaining your Printer, troubleshooting tips, solutions, and Printer adjustment information.

5.1Printer Maintenance schedules

If your Printer is equipped with an optional Rotary Cutter, it is recommended that the cutter's blades are cleaned every 25,000 cuts. The blades in the Rotary Cutter, although reversible, can not be sharpened and must be replaced if they become dull.

The Media Path and Printhead should be cleaned each time a new roll of media is installed in the Printer.

The Tear Bar can become gummed up from the media backing. The Tear Bar should be cleaned with Isopropyl Alcohol when build-up is noticeable.
