Sign off on the printer maintenance

Remove any accumulated dirt and lint from the interior of the print engine using a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. This area should be inspected every time a new ribbon is loaded.

Clean the Printhead and Rollers

Clean the printhead, platen roller, pinch roller, and peel roller according to the schedule in Table 11 on page 106. Clean the printhead more often if you see inconsistent print quality, such as voids or light print. Clean the rollers if you see media movement problems.

To clean the printhead and rollers, complete these steps: 1. Turn Off (O) the print engine.

2. Rotate the printhead-release latch to the open position.

3. Remove the media and ribbon from the print engine.

4. Using Preventative Maintenance kit (part number 47362) or a solution of 90% isopropyl alcohol and 10% deionized water on a cotton swab, wipe the print elements from end to end. Allow the solvent to evaporate.

5. Use a lint-free cloth moistened with alcohol to clean the platen roller, pinch roller, and peel roller. Rotate the rollers while cleaning.

6. Reload the ribbon and media (if used).

Warning: Only trained personnel should perform this procedure.
