3.1.1 Print Head
This chapter describes how to perform routine maintenance.
To ensure the continuous high quality operation of your printer, you
should perform a regular maintenance routine. For high throughput it
should be done on a daily basis. For low throughput it should be done on
a weekly basis.
To maintain the printer performance and print quality, please clean the
printer regularly, or whenever the media is replaced.
1. Turn the power off.
2. Open the Top Cover and Ribbon Access Cover.
3. Remove the ribbon.
4. Clean the Print Head Element with a Print Head Cleaner, cotton swab
or soft cloth slightly moistened with ethyl alcohol.
WARNING!
1. Be sure to turn OFF the
power before performing
maintenance. Failure to
do this may cause an
electric shock.
2. To avoid injury, be careful
not to trap your fingers
while opening or closing
the cover.
3. Be careful when handling
the print head as it
becomes very hot
immediately after printing.
Allow it to cool before
performing any
maintenance.
4. Do not pour water directly
onto the printer.
CAUTION!
1. Do not allow any hard
objects to touch the print
head or platen, as this may
cause damage to them.
2. Do not use any volatile
solvents including thinner
and benzene, as this may
cause discoloration of the
cover, print failure, or
breakdown of the printer.
3. Do not touch the print head
element with bare hands,
as static may damage the
print head.
