Introduction: Today, Xiaobian wants to share how to extend the service life of bar code printers and the daily maintenance operations of bar code printers.
Routine maintenance of bar code printers
Each time a roll of ribbon is printed, the bar code print head should be cleaned to maintain print quality, reduce the number of bar code printer repairs, and extend the life of the bar code printhead.
(1) Cleaning of the bar code print head
Turn off the power of the barcode printer, turn the barcode print head up, remove the ribbon and label paper, and wipe the barcode print head with a cotton swab (or cotton cloth) dipped in a little barcode print head cleaning solution until it is clean. Then lightly dry the barcode printhead with a clean cotton swab.
(2) Cleaning of the drum
After cleaning the bar code printhead, clean the rollers with a cotton swab (or cotton cloth) soaked with a little 75% alcohol. The method is to scrub the roller while rubbing it by hand, and after it is clean, dry it. The cleaning interval of the above two steps is generally three days. If the barcode printer is used frequently, it is best to do it once a day.
(3) Cleaning of the drive system and cleaning inside the chassis
Because the general label paper is self-adhesive, the glue is easy to stick to the shaft and channel of the transmission, and dust is added, which directly affects the printing effect, so it needs to be cleaned frequently. Usually once a week, the method is to scrub the shaft of the transmission, the surface of the channel and the dust inside the chassis with a cotton swab (or cotton cloth) soaked in alcohol, wipe it off and dry it.
(4) Sensor cleaning
The sensor includes a ribbon sensor and a label sensor. The location is described in the manual. It is usually cleaned once a month to three months by blowing the dust off the sensor with a blower (sucking the ball).
How to extend the life of barcode printers
1. Correct operation: The user's operation is correct, which has a great influence on the length of the barcode printer's service life, such as temperature, pressure and other machine settings and applications.
2. Implemented maintenance: Whether to carry out general maintenance according to the use situation, and whether the maintenance action is correct (including the use of maintenance equipment and methods), and whether the regular professional maintenance adjustment is complete, the above points affect the service life of the bar code printer.
3. Environmental factors: When the barcode printer is not in use, please turn off the power, keep the machine as low as possible, and it is best to be separated by 5~10 minutes when switching the power supply. Try to place it in a clean environment. If the above conditions are met, the life of the barcode printer is extended by at least 5%.
Extend the life of the bar code printer printhead
The bar code printhead is the most vulnerable and vulnerable device in a bar code printer. It is a lossy product like a car, and it will eventually be damaged. However, continuous maintenance can extend the life of the bar code printhead. Barcode printhead maintenance:
1. To get the best out of it, clean the bar code printhead every time you use a roll of ribbon or a roll of thermal paper. When cleaning the bar code printhead, remove the ring to prevent scratching the bar code printhead and use a grounded metal strap or anti-static pad to prevent static damage to the bar code printhead.
2. You can dip the 70% alcohol swab, turn off the printer power and open the bar code print head, brush a small amount of cotton on the mechanical part of the printer, or gently blow off the dust (such as: roller, paper / ribbon sensor and bar code printing) head). Do not use any hard metal or abrasive tools (such as screwdrivers) to tamper with the bar code print head contaminants.
3. Use a cotton swab with alcohol to press on the bar code print head from the head to the bottom, then rotate the roller, use it to turn and rub, the cotton swab is dirty and no longer use.
