7-4 EPT023558 Issue 1 February 2016
GENERAL CLEANING
Clean the external casing of the machine with a lint-free cloth that has been
immersed in warm soapy water and thoroughly squeezed out.
WARNINGS: (1) The machine must be electrically isolated and
the compressed air supply switched off during
any cleaning operation.
(2) Lethal voltages are present. Do not pour water
onto the machines or allow any liquids to
penetrate the internal parts.
Clean the Label-gap sensor
(1) Clean all paper dust and label parts from the label-gap sensor with a
small brush or the plastic nozzle of a vacuum cleaner.
(2) Check that the Label-gap sensor is parallel to the label.
(3) Perform a label positioning.
CAUTION: Be careful not to bend the sensor when cleaning it.
Clean the Platen roller
Clean the platen roller with the cleaning wipes provided for the printer.
(1) Switch off the electrical and air supplies to the equipment.
(2) Raise the print head / pressure roller via the lifting handle and gently
ease out the labels sideways.
(3) Rub the cleaning wipes along the platen roller and slowly turn the
roller by hand until the platen roller is completely clean.
Note: The power to the printer must be switched off before it is possible
to manually turn the platen roller.
Clean the Ribbon take-up roller
Repeat the procedure as described for the platen roller but remove the
ribbon instead of the labels.
Clean the Applicator
Clean the applicator with the cleaning wipes.
It is very important that all dirt, debris and glue residues are completely
removed from the applicator
blow box in order that labels may be fed onto
the
blow box without obstructions. Use “Label off” spray or equal spray for
this, avoid spraying on any rubber rollers.
