Maintaining the Printer
To ensure good printer performance and high-quality prints, keep the printer
and its environment clean and dust-free.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Clean the exterior cabinet and filter openings regularly to eliminate dust
build-up and to prevent dirt from entering the printer.
CAUTION:
Never use abrasives or harsh chemicals to clean any part of the
printer. Do not allow any foreign objects or liquids to fall or
spill inside the printer. Fire or electric shock could result. If
any foreign object enters the printer, turn off the printer power
immediately, remove the power cord, and contact your KODAK
Service Representative.
1. Wipe the exterior cabinet, print catcher, and trim tray with a damp,
lint-free cloth.
2. Vacuum the filter openings to remove dust.
Performing Routine Maintenance
To maintain good print quality:
1. Clean the stripper plate, platen roller, and cleaning rollers monthly,
using the alcohol pads included in the KODAK Thermal Printer Cleaning
Kit.
2. Only clean the thermal head if directed to do so by a KODAK Service
Representative. Do not include the thermal head in your monthly
cleaning process.
NOTE: If there is paper or ribbon loaded in the printer, remove it before
performing maintenance procedures.
CAUTION:
Alcohol is a flammable liquid. It can cause eye irritation and
dry skin. Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause drying,
cracking or irritation. Wash your hands with soap and water
following any maintenance procedures where you use alcohol
pads. For additional information, see the Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS).
