7.1.1
General Cleaning Information
Danger!
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.
1.
Remove dust and paper fluff from the print area with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
2. The cover of the printer can be cleaned with a standard cleanser.
7.1.2
Cleaning the Print Head
Dirt on the print head or ribbon, or glue residue from the label stock may result in inadequate print quality. The printer
cover must therefore always be closed during printing. Keeping dirt and dust away from the paper or labels ensures a
good print quality and a longer lifespan of the print head.
