Preventative Maintenance
Zebra recommends cleaning the printer on a regular basis using standard Zebra
printer parts and cleaning supplies. Consult your
Users Guide for further details.
-
Cleaning:
The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth, and if necessary, a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner. Interior components (print head, platen roller, media sensor, peel bar,
ribbon and media paths) are cleaned with alcohol or blown air to remove any particles. -
Lubrication:
All mechanical parts are self-lubricating and do not require additional lubrication. -
Print Registration:
Media registration and minimum label length are affected by media type and width, ribbon type and print speed. Performance
improves as these factors are optimized. Zebra recommends always qualifying any application with thorough testing.
