Overview

This section contains Preventive Maintenance information for the Brady M-Series Printer. These procedures may be performed by the operator.

Cleaning

Exterior Surfaces

The exterior surfaces of the printer may be cleaned as required by using a lint free cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. If necessary, a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner may be used sparingly.

Interior

Remove any accumulated dirt/lint from the interior of the printer using a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. This area should be inspected after every four rolls of media.
