e Intermec EasyCoder PC4 printers are manufactured and tested
under a strict quality management program. Only high quality com-
ponents and materials are used in the printers. Although only minimal
maintenance is required, following these simple maintenance procedures
will ensure longer life with quality printing performance.
External Cleaning
Keep your EasyCoder PC4 clean by periodically wiping it with a soft
cloth dampened with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as
they will scratch the surface.
Printhead Cleaning
We recommend using the special Cleaning Card (part number
1-110501-00) and the procedures below to clean the printhead before
loading each new roll of labels or tags.
Cleaning Cards contain isopropyl alcohol (CH
3
)
2
CHOH
CAS 67-63-0 which is highly flammable, moderately toxic,
and mildly irritating.
1 Switch off the power to the printer.
2 Open the top cover/print carriage.
3 Unload the media stock.
4 In case of thermal transfer printing, also remove the transfer ribbon.
5 Open the pouch and pull out the cleaning card. Be careful not to tear
the card inside!
6 Insert the cleaning card under the print carriage the same way as when
loading the media. Allow approximately 2 to 3 cm (1 inch) of the
cleaning card to extend in front of the printhead.
7 Fold down the print carriage to locked position.
8 Use one hand to hold the printer and the other hand to pull the clean-
ing card forward, until the entire card has been pulled free.
9 Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 a second time, then proceed at step 10.
10 Dispose properly of the used cleaning card and reload the media and
ribbon supplies.
