2.6CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The printer and printhead should be cleaned approximately every 5,000 labels or every two weeks whichever occurs first. The printer should also be cleaned whenever a label roll is changed. A Microcom Corporation cleaning kit should be used for cleaning and maintaining the model 410 printer. It is important to note that the optimum printhead life is achieved by maintaining a clean printer and printhead.
To clean the printer:
1)Turn the printer off.
2)Lift the printhead using the "PUSH TO LIFT HEAD" lever and remove any label stock that remains inside the head mechanism.
3)Using the cleaning brush, sweep away all small label and adhesive particles that may be in the area of the printhead.
4)Moisten a cleaning swab with the cleaning solution and wipe away any adhesive from the rollers or the aluminum peel bar.
5)Dampen a swab with cleaning solution and lift the print head by pushing the lever in the direction of the arrows. Take the moistened swab and gently wipe the underside of the printhead. Repeat if necessary (if swab is extremely dirty).
6)Moisten the felt side of a cleaning card with the cleaning solution. Insert card with felt side facing up into the rear of the printer as you would insert label stock. Hold down on the print button to feed the card through the printer (see section 2.3). Do not lift the print head for this operation. Allow the printhead to ride on the cleaning card. Repeat the process if needed. The cleaning card may be used once at each end.
7)Remove the label diaphragm (see section 2.4).
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE PRINTHEAD WITH ANY METAL OR SHARP OBJECTS
