Important Notice, Read Me First

The thermal printhead can be easily damaged due to its precision construction. A printhead damaged by misuse is not
covered under the terms of the warranty. To ensure longevity of the printhead, please note the following:
1. DO NOT scrape or use tools that might damage the printhead surface.
2. To protect from corroding the printhead, DO NOT touch the printhead with bare hands.
3. DO NOT use thermal paper or thermal transfer ribbons which contain Na, K or Cl.
4. Keep printhead from any form of liquid or dampness.
5. Only use a cotton swab dipped in anhydrous isopropyl alcohol to clean the printhead.
6. Always use high-quality consumables:
•
When the printhead module is closed, pressure is placed directly onto the printhead; dirt such as paper scraps, sand,
dust and glue can scrape or damage the printhead.
•
The TPH is also easily damaged by static electricity, which may be generated by poor quality ribbons.
7. Always inspect consumables for high quality before purchasing.
Note: The G Series printer functions under Direct Thermal or Thermal Transfer print methods. Thermal Transfer is set as
the factory default (requires ribbon for printing). However, if you need to print on Direct Thermal materials (ribbon is not
required), please contact your printer supplier or service provider to reduce the printhead pressure. This can protect your
printhead from early performance deterioration due to direct contact with the thermal media. Any physical printhead
damage caused by direct thermal printing is not covered under warranty.
