External Cleaning; Printhead Cleaning - Intermec EasyCoder C4 User Manual

Chapter 3— Maintenance
The Intermec EasyCoder C4 printers are manufactured and tested under
a strict quality management program. Only high quality components and
materials are used in the printers. Although only minimal maintenance
is required, following these simple maintenance procedures will ensure
longer life with quality printing performance.

External Cleaning

Keep your EasyCoder C4 clean by periodically wiping it with a soft cloth
dampened with water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents as they
will scratch the surface.

Printhead Cleaning

We recommend using the special Cleaning Card (part number
1-110501-00) and the procedures below to clean the printhead before
loading each new roll of labels or tags.
Cleaning Cards contain isopropyl alcohol (CH
CAS 67-63-0 which is highly fl ammable, moderately toxic,
and mildly irritating.
Switch off the power to the printer.
1
Open the top cover/print carriage.
2
Unload the media stock.
3
In case of thermal transfer printing, also remove the transfer ribbon.
4
Open the pouch and pull out the cleaning card. Be careful not to tear
5
the card inside!
Insert the cleaning card under the print carriage the same way as when
6
loading the media. Allow approximately 2 to 3 cm (1 inch) of the
cleaning card to extend in front of the printhead.
Fold down the print carriage to locked position.
7
Use one hand to hold the printer and the other hand to pull the
8
cleaning card forward, until the entire card has been pulled free.
Repeat steps 6, 7, and 8 a second time, then proceed at step 10.
9
Dispose properly of the used cleaning card and reload the media and
10
ribbon supplies.
