3. Wear anti-static gloves at all times when handling print heads to prevent oils
on your hands from contaminating the print head. The SNAP 500 printer
spare parts kit contains an anti-static wrist strap and gloves.
a. If your company has not purchased the spare parts kit, buy the anti-
static wrist strap at your local electronics store.
b. Order extra anti-static gloves from AVERY DENNISON.
c. If an anti-static glove is not available, thoroughly wash and dry your
hands before handling the print head.
4. Do not touch any terminals extending from the print head or the print line.
CAUTION: Never remove the print head from the printer
except to replace it.
Optimal print quality and print head life come from:
1. Using clean supplies.
2. Using alcohol and the loop side of a Velcro pad or a cotton pad to clean the
print head.
3. Never using anything abrasive to the print head.
4. Never using anything metallic on or near the print head.
CAUTION: AVERY DENNISON recommends Master
Cleaning Kit #05921341K for use in cleaning print heads.
1. Before cleaning any part of your SNAP 500 printer, turn off the power.
2. Following handling techniques recommended above.
3. After 2 to 4 hours of continuous use: Apply a liberal amount of alcohol to a
cotton pad and rub firmly across the print line of the print head several times
to remove any build-up of ink, dust, dirt or debris. Wait a few minutes for the
alcohol to evaporate, and resume printing.
4. After 8 hours of use: Apply a liberal amount of alcohol to the loop side of a
Velcro pad and rub firmly across the print line of the print head several times
to remove any build-up of ink, dust, dirt or debris. Wait a few minutes for the
alcohol to evaporate, and resume printing.

to remove any ink, dust or dirt build-up.
