Whether it is our daily use of electrical equipment or label printers, after a long time of use, more or less will be loss or failure. And these problems can usually be prevented through the daily correct maintenance to reduce.
Below to share with you some of the daily maintenance of label printers and maintenance methods:
1. According to the instructions for the correct installation of the ribbon
Since the label cartridge is contained in a bag, it is important to ensure that the protective film is not deformed when it is removed. If the edges are bent, they must be laid flat, otherwise they may get stuck in the printer drum and cause a paper jam. Then, in accordance with the tips of the installation instructions, the ribbon in accordance with the direction of the cutting head retracted 1-2 turns, and so that the ribbon is in the state of collapsed straight, in order to avoid the ribbon due to the ribbon loose and lead to ribbon disconnection and jamming.
2, regular cleaning of the printer printhead
For long-term use of the printer, print ink and stains on the print ribbon will block the printer's needle guide holes, and increase the resistance of the printer's movement in the printing process. Easily caused by the printer print needle needle system failure. Therefore, the printer should normally be cleaned after three months of use. If the use of high-frequency printers, you need to consider cleaning them after one month of use.
3, choose to apply high-quality ribbon
As a result of high-quality label printing ribbon process technology is more detailed, cost-effective raw materials, print labels with clear content, environmental resistance; poor quality label printing ribbon and printer matching performance is poor, high equipment failure rate, low output rate. Therefore, you should usually choose to use high-quality label printing ribbon, and pay special attention to strict inspection before use.
4, avoid prolonged printing
If the printing time is too long, it will be due to long-term high temperature, the printer nozzle will be more likely than usual to absorb impurities, which will lead to clogging or jamming, and high temperature will also affect the print content. Therefore, please pay special attention to the use of the print ribbon time. In addition, if you find the above phenomenon, then you should consider stopping the printer.
5, try to avoid sudden shutdown or power failure during the printing process
Printer in the printing, if suddenly cut off the power or shut down the printer, will lead to the printer needle can not be retracted in a timely manner, therefore, in the printing is not complete, you should try to avoid forced shutdown. Alternatively, you may consider linking the printer power supply to a power outlet supplied by a stable power source to avoid sudden power failures.
