Chapter 4 — Troubleshooting and Maintaining the Printer
PM4i Mid-Range Printer User’s Manual 107
Follow these guidelines for cleaning the printer:
• Always remove the power cord before cleaning.
• Never spray the printer. Protect it from water when cleaning the
premises.
• Never use any sharp tools for removing stuck labels. The printhead
and rollers are delicate.
Cleaning the Exterior of the Printer
Clean the exterior of the printer as needed.
To clean the exterior of the printer
• Wipe external surfaces with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
water or a mild detergent.
Cleaning the Media Guides
Both parts of the label stop sensor, which controls the media feed, are
covered by plastic guides. The guides are transparent to allow the light
to pass between the two parts of the label stop sensor. These areas
must be kept clean from dust, stuck labels, and adhesive residue.
If your printer starts to feed labels in an unexpected way, pull out
the upper guide check for objects, such as dust, adhesive residue, or
labels, that may be blocking the beam of light. If necessary, clean the
guides.
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH 3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly
flammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
