Preventive Maintenance
This printer has been developed to have a long life expectancy with no replacement of components and minimum user interference. But printer lifetime is highly influenced by the following factors: paper quality, regular preventive maintenance, environmental conditions and how carefully the user handles this product.
39.Print Head
CAUTION!
The print head can be hot just after printing. Do not touch the print head; let it cool down before touching and cleaning. Because the thermal elements of the print head and driver IC are fragile, avoid touching them with any metal objects or any abrasive material.
During normal operation some ink particles from the thermal paper will adhere to the thermal print head surface. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the printer head after 10 km of printed length or if printing quality is degrading. Switch off the printer before cleaning it. Clean the print head with a cotton swab, soaked with alcohol solvent (ethanol or isopropanol). Do not try to clean the print head with hard, abrasive objects or your fingers, since this can cause damage to its delicate surface. Clean the platen roller (rubber roller) with the cotton swab to remove any dust particles.
