5 Maintaining the Printer

To ensure good printer performance and high-quality prints, keep the printer and its environment clean and dust-free.

Cleaning the Cabinet

Clean the exterior cabinet and filter openings regularly to eliminate dust build-up and to prevent dirt from entering the printer.

CAUTION:

Never use abrasives or harsh chemicals to clean any part of the printer. Do not allow any foreign objects or liquids to fall or spill inside the printer. Fire or electric shock could result. If any foreign object enters the printer, turn off the printer power immediately, remove the power cord, and contact your KODAK representative for service.

1.Wipe the exterior cabinet, print catcher, and trim tray with a damp, lint-free cloth.

2.Vacuum the filter openings to remove dust.

Performing Routine Maintenance

To maintain good print quality:

1.Clean the stripper plate, platen roller, and cleaning rollers monthly, using the alcohol pads included in the KODAK Thermal Printer Cleaning Kit.

2.Only clean the thermal head when necessary. Do not include the thermal head in your monthly cleaning process.

NOTE: If there is paper or ribbon loaded in the printer, remove it before performing maintenance procedures.

WARNING:

Alcohol is a flammable liquid. It can cause eye irritation and dry skin. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying, cracking or irritation. Wash your hands with soap and water following any maintenance procedures where you use alcohol pads. For additional information, see the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
