InfoSight Tag Printer LabeLase 3000

CAUTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG BOTH THE PRINTER POWER CORD AND ALL COMMUNICATION CABLES BEFORE SERVICING THE DRIVE UNIT

The front cleanout plate may be removed to clean the drive mechanism without removing the printer cover. Extreme care must be used to avoid damaging laser optics, pass-through lens, optical tag & notch sensors, and other delicate components.

Is the front cleanout plate removed?

Is the pass-through lens left in place?

A soft brush or long Q-Tip can be used to loosen any debris, and a small PC keyboard vacuum with a 90-degree or flexible nose piece can be used to remove the loosened debris.

Is the debris loosened and removed?

The front cleanout plate is secured with two SECURITY TORX screws to prevent unintended opening.

The LabeLase® 3000 Tag Printer includes three light-duty foam filter elements, intended for use in a normal office environment. It is not intended to protect the printer from industrial contaminants or vapors, typical of a factory or mill environment

As the filter elements accumulate dust and pollen over time, air flow through the printer may be reduced

This may cause excessive dust to accumulate on the internal optics (lenses and mirrors), which may shorten their life considerably. Therefore, it is important to monitor the condition of the filters and determine the appropriate cleaning frequency for your specific environment

At high duty cycles when printing large batches of tags with a high percentage of black (printed) area, reduced air flow may also cause the internal temperature sensor to automatically shut down the laser tube until it cools back to its normal operating temperature – this is normal

The LL3000 series of printers generally require frequent air filter cleaning

The filter cover is located on the rear of the printer, and is held in place by two thumb screws

Loosen the thumb screws and carefully remove the cover and the foam filter element underneath

Carefully blow any lint or dust off the filter, or gently wash it in soap and water. Dry the filter thoroughly before reinstalling

CAUTION: LASER OPTICS ALIGNMENT SHOULD ONLY BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN

The lens slide is secured with a SECURITY TORX screw to prevent unintended opening

CAUTION: DO NOT TOUCH LENS WITH FINGERS OR ANY SUBSTANCE CONTAINING ALCOHOL, OR PERMANENT DAMAGE MAY RESULT

Lens cleaning performed with non-abrasive, fiber-free cloth

White vinegar used for cleaning. Alcohol not used

Lens wiped gently, avoiding streaks

The incoming AC line is fused on both legs. Before replacing the fuses, first determine and fix the cause of the blown fuses

CAUTION: BE SURE TO REMOVE THE AC POWER CORD BEFORE REMOVING THE FUSE HOLDER OR PERFORMING ANY OTHER TROUBLESHOOTING OR MAINTENANCE!

To replace the fuses, remove the fuse holder on the back of the printer between the power cord input and the on-off rocker switch. The fuse holder only goes back in one-way. If it does not fit easily, turn it upside down and then insert it gently so that it snaps in place;
