Chapter 1: About the 7193 Printer

Cleaning the Printer

There is no customer maintenance required for the 7193.

Cleaning the Cabinet

Clean the cabinet as needed to remove dust and finger marks. Use any household cleaner
made for plastics, but test it first on a small unseen area. If the receipt paper bucket is dirty,
wipe it with a clean, damp cloth. The cabinet materials and finish are durable and are
resistant to the following items:

Cleaning the Thermal Printhead

If the printhead appears dirty, clean it with cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol.
Caution: Do not spray the thermal printhead with household cleaner as this may damage
it and the electronics.
If spotty or light printing problems persist after cleaning the thermal printhead, contact
your NCR authorized service representative.
Note: The thermal printhead does not normally require cleaning if the recommended
paper grades are used. If non-recommended paper has been used for an extended period
of time, cleaning the printhead with the alcohol pen will not be of much benefit. See
"Ordering Thermal Paper" earlier in this chapter for recommended paper.
