Cleaning The Media Guides And Media Path - Intermec 3600 Maintenance Manual

Cleaning the Media Guides and Media Path

Clean the media guides and media path regularly to keep debris off the media
surface and printhead where irregularities can spoil print quality or damage
the printhead. Cleaning the guides also helps prevent media skewing or
improper tracking as it travels through the paper path, which can result in
print problems. Always clean the media guides immediately after any label jam
in the printer.
Media debris may accumulate around the printer mechanism and along the
media path during normal operation of the printer. Clean debris away using a
soft bristle brush or vacuum cleaner. Remove all traces of dust, paper, and
adhesive. Clean the flat surfaces of the media path (including the edge guide)
with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Also remove all traces of dust,
paper, and adhesive from the pinch rollers on the media access door.
To clean the media guides and media path
1. Remove the media cover.
2. Remove the media from the paper path and the ribbon (if installed) from
the TTR hubs.
3. Pull down and hold the spring-loaded lower media guide to open up the
media path.
4. Clean the lower media guide with a lint-free cloth moistened in isopropyl
alcohol.
