Lubrication

All bearings in the 4100 printer are either permanently lubricated or made of
low friction plastic and do not require maintenance lubrication. The three slip
clutches in the printer are prelubricated and should not require further
lubrication. However, if the printer mechanism creates a squeaking or
humming noise, contact your Intermec representative for assistance.

Cleaning the Printer

The following procedures tell you how to access printer components and clean
them without causing any damage.
Note: Before cleaning any components, turn off and unplug the printer.

If the drive roller becomes contaminated with grit, label adhesive, or ink, your
print quality may deteriorate. Clean the drive roller whenever these conditions
