How to Extend Printer head Life




How to extend the life of the print head, the printer is the most fragile vulnerable to damage the device?
    It is like a car is a loss of goods, will eventually be damaged, but constantly pay attention to maintenance, you can extend the life of the print head. PRE-MAINTENANCE For best results, clean the print head once for each roll of ribbon or roll of thermal paper. CAUTION When cleaning the printer head(Printer Mechanism), remove the ring to prevent scratching the printer head(Printer Mechanism) and use a grounded metal strap or antistatic mat to prevent static damage to the printer head(Printer Mechanism). Use a 70% alcohol swab, first turn the printer off and open the print head, brush with a small amount of cotton cloth on the mechanical part of the printer, or gently blow off dust (eg rollers, paper / tape sensors and printer head(Printer Mechanism)s). Do not use any hard metal or worn tools (such as a screwdriver) to grind the print head contaminants. With a cotton rod with alcohol pressure in the print head from beginning to end rub, and then rotate the roller, use it to turn the edge of the rub, dirty cotton swab not to use. Factors that cause premature damage to the printer head(Printer Mechanism) - Labels / tape Long-term movement through the printer head(Printer Mechanism) wears the protective coating of the ceramic coating, exposing the printer head(Printer Mechanism) pins (spots) and eventually destroying them.
 In order to avoid abrasions
• Clean the print head frequently and use a smooth, heat-transfer ribbon with a backing film to reduce friction.
• Minimize printer head(Printer Mechanism) pressure and print temperature.
• Ensure that the ribbon width is wider than the label to prevent the exposed print head from being scratched by the label. The dirty print head caused by the back layer of the ribbon will need high temperature, high pressure, high speed and other settings after being contaminated by thermal paper and thermal transfer ribbon. The accumulation of contaminants on the printer head(Printer Mechanism) pins creates heat transfer obstructions that affect the print image quality. The increase in contamination gradually reduces the print quality and appears to be dull or damaged. Contaminants and make the soaked cotton swab difficult to clean. In order to avoid the back of the ribbon caused by dirty.
· Use a heat transfer ribbon that has been protected with a backing layer, which must be referenced to a non-tacky ribbon, with both static dissipation and lubrication.
• Always do print head maintenance.
· Use our protective printer head(Printer Mechanism) film to quickly and easily remove print head waste accumulation.
