Maintenance
5.0 Introduction
This chapter covers the cleaning receommendations for your
Printer.
Interior and Exterior
•
Interior During normal operation dust particles from label
stock can build up inside the Printer. To prevent
build-up, use a soft bristle brush or vacuum
cleaner as needed.
•
Exterior The exterior surface can be cleaned using a
general purpose cleaner and a damp soft cloth or
sponge. Do not use abrasive cleansers or solvents.
Drive Roller
Print quality may be affected if the drive roller becomes
contaminated with grit, label adhesive, or ink. To clean the
Drive Roller complete the following steps:
1. Remove the Tear-Bar Assembly, see Figure 1-4.
2. Turn the Head-Lift Lever to raise the Printhead to the
‘up’ position.
3. Dampen a clean, soft cloth with Isopropyl Alcohol and
wipe off any debris from the Drive Roller.
Note: If the Drive Roller contains excessive build-up that is
unable to be removed using Isopropyl Alcohol you can
try acetone; however, this should be used sparingly.
