Cleaning Information
Warning: Risk of death via electric shock! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before
performing any maintenance work.
The printer requires very little maintenance.
It is important to clean the thermal printheads regularly. This guarantees a consistently
good printed image and plays a major part in preventing premature wear of the
printhead.
Otherwise, the maintenance is limited to monthly cleaning of the device.
Attention: The printer can be damaged by aggressive cleansers. Do not use abrasive cleaners
or solvents for cleaning the external surfaces or modules.
• Remove dust and paper fluff from the print area with a soft brush or vacuum
cleaner.
• The cover of the printer can be cleaned with a standard cleanser.
Cleaning the Print Rollers
Accumulations of dirt on the print rollers may impair the media transport and the print
quality.
• Lift the printheads.
• Remove media and transfer ribbon from the printer.
• Remove deposits with roller cleaner and a soft cloth.
• If the roller appears damaged, replace it.
Cleaning the Printheads
Cleaning intervals: every ribbon roll change
Substances may accumulate on the printheads during printing and adversely affect
printing, e.g. differences in contrast or vertical stripes.
Attention: Printheads can be damaged!
• Do not use sharp or hard objects to clean the printheads.
• Do not touch protective glass layer of the printheads with fingers.
Attention: Risk of injury from the hot printhead lines. Ensure that the printheads have cooled
down before starting cleaning.
