Element Head Cleaner Pen Storage To prolong the life of your VnM SignMaker, Cobra Systems recommends the VnM Travel Case for proper storage and protection in any environment. Opening Printer Covers Do not open printer covers when the unit is powered on as this will cause an error. If done accidentally, turn printer off and close covers completely, then power back on.
