Cameo printers will provide years of reliable service provided a few simple guidelines are followed. The printer should be cleaned approximately every two weeks or more often, depending on usage and the type of media being employed. Components of the printer that require periodic maintenance are the print head, print roller (platen), and the media sensor.
Cleaning the Media Sensor The Media sensor is located inside the media compart- ment under the print head. Blow out any dust deposits carefully, then finish cleaning with the cleaning pen sup- plied with the printer and/or alcohol and cotton swabs. Linerless Media Printers Printers using linerless media require more frequent cleaning.
TROUBLESHOOTING Self Test: Perform the self test as described in the Controls sec- tion. The unit should print a line of interlocking “x” char- acters to insure all elements of the print head are work- ing, print out the version of software loaded in the printer and then print two reports.
• Network printers: refer to the RF LAN Information section of the Self Test printout to verify the printer’s SSID and IP addresses are correct, and that the printer is “associated” with the wireless LAN. • Invalid label format or command structure — use Hex Dump Mode for troubleshooting.
COMMUNICATING TO THE PRINTER The printer must establish communications with a host terminal which sends the data to be printed. Communi- cations occur in three basic ways: The IrDA logo or the Bluetooth logo will appear here if those options are installed.

IR Communications Printers equipped for infrared (IR) communications are identified by a small “IR” logo on the unit’s keypad. IR allows wireless communications between the printer and the host terminal. IR units can also communicate with a cable as detailed above, however, IR functions are dis- abled when the cable is plugged in.
Wireless Communications with Bluetooth™ using ZBR Radio The following section only applies when the Bluetooth ZBR Module (FCC ID: I28MD- BTC2-E) is installed in the Cameo printer (note that only one of the radio options can be installed in the printer at one time). “Bluetooth”...
