Field Maintenance Functions
Field maintenance functions for the Zebra S-Series printer can be divided into
two basic categories.
• This section of the manual contains preventive maintenance procedures and
operator care instructions. Preventive maintenance consists of a visual
inspection and general cleaning of the interior and exterior of the unit and
printhead. These procedures may be performed by the operator and should
be performed on a regular basis.
• Corrective maintenance, described in Corrective Maintenance, provides
detailed steps for resolving faults. Repairs are accomplished by replacement
of components or modules or by adjustments.
Tools Required
To properly perform the preventive maintenance tasks, the service technician
should be equipped with the following:
• Applicators
• 70% isopropyl alcohol
• Citrus-based cleaner
WARNING
Unless indicated otherwise, turn power OFF before
performing maintenance procedures.

sparingly.
