Maintenance Scheme
These recommended actions will ensure consistent high quality from the Markem-Imaje
SmartDate X60 technology for package identification.
Quick/Regular Checks
- Check and clean printhead (daily check). Use Isopropanol wipes.
- Check that the ribbon is tracking through the cassette correctly. Pull the ribbon through
by hand, and visually check to see if the ribbon is creasing across the width of the rib-
bon. (See Troubleshooting 5.7.3)
- Check the Peel Roller for any ink build up and clean if necessary. Use Isopropanol
wipes
- Check that Darkness / Speed settings are site standard. This will ensure that the print
remains a good quality, and it may also highlight any potential problems. For example,
if the darkness is unusually high, the printhead may need cleaning. The darkness has
probably been set high to compensate.
- Check Air is set to recommended pressure.
- Check condition of Platen rubber (SmartDate X60 - Intermittent printer). Clean or re-
place it if necessary. The platen rubber needs to be smooth, flat and free from debris. -
To change the platen rubber, first take the old platen rubber off. All the adhesive should
be removed from the metal platen base. Replace with a Markem-Imaje platen rubber for
best results.
- Check for wear or internal debris.
- The 37 way D-type cable must be fitted in a manner so that a tool is required to re-
move it. The unit should not be powered until it is securely attached to each unit.
