Print Head Maintenance Guide
To keep the Print Head remain in the best conditions and
efficiency and to extend duration for use, regular cleaning action
is needed:
Cleaning Interval
It’s strongly recommended to regularly clean print heads at least
when changing every one label roll (in direct thermal printing
mode) or every one ribbon roll (in thermal transfer printing mode).
In addition, if printers are operated under critical applications and
environments, or if
it’s found that print quality is degraded, please
clean print heads more frequently.
Cleaning Material
Surface of print head’s heating element is very fragile. To prevent
from any possible damage, please use soft cloth/ cotton buds with
“Ethanol” or “IPA” to clean print head surface.
It’s strongly recommended to wear hand gloves during cleaning
progress.
Do not touch print head surface by bare hands or with any hard
equipment.
Water or spit should be kept away in case of corrosion on heating
elements.
Cleaning Direction
Note: Always switch off printer power before cleaning.
In case of long-time printing, surface of print head may be
very hot. Please wait till print head cools down properly
before maintenance, to prevent burns. During maintenance,
do not directly touch print head surface, to avoid its damage
and any possible injury to you. Use cleaning material instead.
