Preventative Maintenance
Brady recommends cleaning the printer on a regular
basis using standard Brady printer parts and
cleaning supplies. Consult your User’s Guide for
further details.
• Cleaning:
The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth,
and if necessary, a mild detergent solution or
desktop cleaner. Interior components
(printhead, platen roller, media sensor, peel
bar, ribbon and media paths) are cleaned with
alcohol or blown air to remove any particles.
• Lubrication:
All mechanical parts are self-lubricating and do not require
additional lubrication.
• Print Registration:
Media registration and minimum label length are affected
by media type and width, ribbon type and print speed.
Performance improves as these factors are optimised.
Brady recommends always qualifying any application with
thorough testing
