Maintenance functions for the Zebra Stripe Thermal Transfer Demand 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 printer and
the printhead. These procedures may be performed by the operator and
should be performed on a regular basis.
• Corrective maintenance provides the technician with detailed steps for
resolving faults by adjustment or the replacement of components or modules.
Section 5 covers the Corrective Maintenance.
To properly perform the required maintenance tasks, the Service Technician
should be equipped with the proper tools.

EXTERIOR - The exterior surfaces of the Zebra Stripe printer may be cleaned as
required by using a moist lint-free cloth. DO NOT use solvents or harsh cleaning
agents. If the unit is excessively dirty, a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner
may be used sparingly.
INTERIOR - As required, remove any dirt/lint accumulated in the interior of the
printer using a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. It is good practice to
inspect these areas with every fourth roll of media. See “Recommended Preventive
Maintenance Schedule” in this section.
