Chapter 3 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the PB50

Cold Booting the PB50

You rarely need to cold boot the PB50 printer, unless you are upgrading the firmware. If your printer occasionally locks up, you will want to cold boot it. A cold boot reinitializes the 802.11 radio and clears the working memory.

Note: The Setup menu is not affected by a cold boot. Your printer retains all of your configuration settings after the printer powers back up.

To reset the PB50

1Disconnect the PB50 from power if externally powered.

2Remove the battery from the PB50 for at least one second.

3Insert the battery back into the PB50.

4Reconnect external power if your PB50 is externally powered.

Cleaning the Printer

To properly maintain your PB50, you should clean it at the recommended intervals. If you have a linerless printer, you may want to clean your printer more often than recommended. Printing may get noisy due to residue from the linerless medai building up on the roller bar.

To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the printer, never insert any pointed or sharp objects into the printer.

Use only the cleaning agents specified in this section. Intermec is not responsible for damage caused by any other cleaning materials used on this printer. Clean most of the printer with a cotton swab saturated with alcohol.

Do not clean the linerless platen roller with isopropyl alcohol. It could damage the surface of the platen roller.
