5.1.2 Cleaning Procedures
CAUTION: AVERY DENNISON recommends Master
Cleaning Kit #921341K for use in cleaning print heads.
1. Before cleaning any part of your SNAP 700 printer, turn off the power to the
printer.
2. To avoid damaging the print head, wear the anti-static wrist strap (which
must be in contact with the skin and be tight). Be sure the button on the
strap comes into direct contact with your skin.
3. Fasten the clip end of the anti-static wrist strap to a metal portion of the
printer (usually the stacker) to prevent static from your skin from entering the
print station.
4. Wear anti-static gloves at all times when handling a print head to prevent oils
from your hands from contaminating the print head. While wearing the
gloves, remove the cotton or Velcro pad from the package.
5. After 2 to 4 hours of continuous use: Apply a liberal amount of alcohol to a
cotton pad and rub firmly across the print line of the print head several times
to remove any build-up of ink, dust, dirt or debris. Wait a few minutes for the
alcohol to evaporate, and resume printing.
6. After 8 hours of use: Apply a liberal amount of alcohol to the loop side of a
Velcro pad and rub firmly across the print line of the print head several times
to remove any build-up of ink, dust, dirt or debris. Wait a few minutes for the
alcohol to evaporate, and resume printing.
7. Clean the print rollers and auxiliary feed rollers with alcohol and a cotton pad
to remove any ink, dust or dirt build-up.
8. Clean sensors with a dry cotton or foam swab.
CAUTION: Do not use alcohol to clean sensors.
