Unit 6: Maintenance
CLEANING PROCEDURES
Cleaning of the printer is a necessary maintenance activity to ensure print quality and long printer life. There are two basic types of cleaning involved; the removal of loose debris and the removal of residue.
Use a soft cloth and/or a pneumatic blower to remove debris from the printer. This process should be performed prior to the removal of residue. To remove residue, apply SATO Solvent or isopropyl alcohol to a clean cotton swab and gently wipe the entire surface of the print head and platen roller until clean.
It is recommended that the printer be cleaned after the printing of every two rolls of labels.
WARNING: DISCONNECT POWER SUPPLY TO THE PRINTER AND
ALLOW TO COOL TO ROOM TEMPERATURE PRIOR TO CLEANING.
WARNING: EXERSIZE CARE WHEN CLEANING TO PREVENT
PERSONAL INJURY. THE TEAR BAR HAS A VERY SHARP EDGE.
CAUTION: IF USING A PNEUMATIC BLOWER TO REMOVE DEBRIS
FROM THE PRINTER, EXERSIZE CARE TO PREVENT PRINT HEAD
DAMAGE.
