Cleaning the Printer Case

The Printer has a durable casing that should retain its luster and appearance for many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild soap.

Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind. Never spray the cabinet with a cleaner. Rather, spray the cloth first, then wipe down the Printer.

Cleaning the Inside of the Printer

Step

Procedure

 

 

1

As you use the Printer, dust and other foreign particles may accumulate inside

 

the Printer’s case. (Note: These particles are attracted to the underside of the

 

Ribbon by static produced during printing and can cause voids on the printed

 

image. Periodically, use the following procedure to remove dust and other

 

foreign particles:

 

 

2

Open the Top Cover of the Printer by gently grasping the front sides of the Cover

 

and lifting upward. (Note: The Cover will tilt open from front-to-back.

 

 

3

Open the Printhead Assembly by gently pulling up on the assembly’s Release

 

Tab and lifting upward.

 

Allow the assembly to swing completely open.

 

 

4

Remove the Ribbon from the Printer and set it on the ends of its Ribbon cores.

 

 

5

Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth slightly

 

moistened with isopropyl alcohol to wipe out all visible areas inside the Printer.

 

Remove any debris that may be inside. Be extremely careful not to let any

 

alcohol drip inside the Printer’s case!

 

 

6

Once the cleaned areas are completely dry and free of foreign debris, re-install

 

the Ribbon and close the Printhead Assembly and Top Cover.
