7. PERIODIC MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
All machines are generally delivered in their best condition. To maintain optimal operating condition
and help gain maximum performance and life of machines, we would recommend you to conduct
periodic maintenance. Doing this is also effective in preventing unexpected troubles and avoiding
wasteful system down time, by which more benefit is produced to your customers and greater reliance
is placed on the product quality.
Please refer to the following general maintenance procedure and perform periodic servicing.
CAUTION!
When replacing parts or performing maintenance on the printer, be careful not to damage the print
head with a hard object like a watch or a ring.
Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please treat it carefully by not hitting a
hard object against it.

Manuals, especially warnings, cautions and adjustment.
