Maintenance / Cleaning
Maintenance / Cleaning
General
The Printer Applicator System only requires a minimum of maintenance.
It is most important to clean the printhead on a regular basis. This will guarantee a permanent high quality of the print image. Moreover, it helps to prevent an early wear of the printhead.
Apart from that, the servicing only requires you to clean the outside of the printer occasionally.
Cleaning the Printhead
While operating, dirt such as paper dust or particles of ink or back coating from the ribbon may accumulate on the thermal printhead. This can cause a deterioration of the print quality (e.g. different contrasts on the label, appearance of light horizontal lines, etc.).
In that case, the printhead needs cleaning.
WARNING !
Disconnect power supply !
Switch off compressed air !
Recommended cleaning intervals :
Direct Thermal Printing : at every 1200 m
Thermal Transfer Printing : each time you change the ribbon
CAUTION !
Do not use any sharp objects for cleaning the printhead !
Do not touch the protective glass layer of the printhead !
Clean the printhead as follows :
-
-
Remove label material and transfer ribbon from the printer.
Clean the printhead surface (1) with a special cleaning pen, or use a cotton swab soaked with isopropyl alcohol.
Allow it to dry for about 2 to 3 minutes before restarting the printer.
