Cleaning the Print Heads
The PRINT HEADS must be kept clean and free of scratches at all times.
They should be checked at regular intervals.
To clean the Print Heads:
Do not attempt this procedure while the Print Head is hot.
ALWAYS wait until the Print Head is at room temperature.
1. In the M
AIN SCREEN, click UNLOAD.
2. Switch off the power to the SprinterB Printer and wait for P
RINT HEADS
to cool.
3. Clean the P
RINT HEADS of any deposits of dirt with a paper towel
moistened with 100% alcohol.
4. Pass a mirror slowly underneath the P
RINT HEADS and with the help of a
light source such as a strong torch, check them for scratches and
deposits of dirt.
The Print Heads should be cleaned each time that a new ribbon is installed,
i.e. approximately every 500 meters
Checking and Cleaning the Rubber Cylinders
To check and clean the Rubber Cylinders:
1. Remove the Substrate from the Printer.
2. Clean the rubber cylinder with alcohol 50% after printing 500 meters,
or after using a complete set of ribbons.
Keeping that area clean can prevent many problems of wrinkling and more.
