9 Care and Maintenance

NOTICE
• Be sure to turn off the power to the PNC-5000 before cleaning.
• Never attempt to oil or lubricate the mechanism.
Cleaning the main unit
For routine cleaning, use a soft piece of cloth.
Cleaning the printing head
NOTICE
Drops of cleaning fluid may spray out when the cap is opened. Hold away from the
platen when opening the cap. The platen may be discolored by any cleaning fluid
that comes in contact with it. (The cleaning fluid is non-toxic.)
Open the cover and remove the ribbon cartridge.
To remove any soiling on the printing head, use a head cleaner included with the PNC-5000.
After cleaning, refer to "5-10 Performing a Self-test" to check operation and make
sure that the PNC-5000 is working correctly.
* If high-quality printing is desired, the printing head should always be kept
clean to prevent buildup of grime.
Cleaning the platen
If the platen becomes soiled, wipe it clean with a dry, soft cloth.
Do not wipe with a head cleaner or alcohol.
Use care when cleaning to avoid damaging the surface of the platen. Damage to the platen may impair the accuracy of printing.

If the PNC-5000 doesn't run...
Turn on the power. (See "5-2 Powering On" .)
If the SETUP LED is not illuminated, make sure the material is loaded correctly
and press the SETUP key to illuminate the SETUP LED.
If the PAUSE key has been pressed and the PAUSE LED is lighted, the unit has
been paused (see "5-7 Pausing Operations" ).
To resume printing or cutting, press the PAUSE key again. The PAUSE LED is
extinguished, and printing or cutting resumes.
To terminate printing or cutting, first stop the transmission of printing or cutting
instructions from the computer to the PNC-5000. Then press the SETUP key.
This deletes the printing or cutting instructions that have already been sent from
the computer to the PNC-5000, and printing or cutting is stopped.
If operation is still not correct when the next batch of data is sent after printing or
cutting, or cutting has been stopped, switch the power off and then on again.
Set the DIP switches correctly (see "5-1 DIP Switch Settings" .)
Check the following items:
• DIP switches
• Communication parameters
Read the computer user's manual and set it up correctly.
• Memory switches
• Interface board
• Other settings
