Preventative Maintenance
Brady recommends cleaning the printer on a
regular basis using standard Brady printer parts
and cleaning supplies. Consult your User’s Guide
for further details.
•
Cleaning:
The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth,
and if necessary, a mild detergent solution or
desktop cleaner. Interior components
(printhead, platen roller, media sensor, peel
bar, ribbon and media paths) are cleaned
with alcohol or blown air to remove any
particles.
• Lubrication:
All mechanical parts are self-lubricating and do not
require additional lubrication.
• Print Registration:
Media registration and minimum label length are
affected by media type and width, ribbon type and
print speed. Performance improves as these
factors are optimised. Brady recommends always
qualifying any application with thorough testing
