1. Correct operation:

Whether the user's operation is correct or not has a great influence on the service life of the bar code printer, such as temperature, pressure and other machine settings and applications, the correct use of the bar code ribbon cleaning and so on.

2. Implementation of maintenance:

Whether the general maintenance is carried out according to the usage, whether the maintenance actions are correct (including the appliances and methods used for maintenance), and whether the regular professional maintenance and adjustment are complete, the above points all affect the service life of the barcode printer.

3. Environmental factors:

Please turn off the power when the barcode printer is not in use, so that the machine can be kept at a low temperature as much as possible. When switching the power supply, it is best to be separated by 5 to 10 minutes, and try to choose a cleaner environment. If the above conditions can be met, the life of the bar code printer will continue to be at least 5%.

The barcode print head is the most vulnerable component in the barcode printer. Like a car, it is a worn-out product and will eventually be damaged. However, continuous attention to maintenance and continuous and reasonable cleaning of the dirt caused by the ribbon layer of the bar code ribbon can prolong the life of the bar code print head.

Barcode print head pre-maintenance

In order to play the best role, when each with a roll of carbon tape or a roll of thermal paper to clean a bar code print head. Note that when cleaning the barcode print head, take off the ring to prevent scratching the barcode print head, and use grounded metal tape or anti-static pad to prevent electrostatic damage to the barcode print head.

Use a cotton swab soaked in 70% alcohol, turn off the power of the printer and turn on the barcode print head, brush the mechanical part of the printer with a small amount of cotton cloth, or gently blow off the floating dust (e. g. roller, paper/ribbon sensor and barcode print head). Do not use any hard metal or wear tools (such as screwdrivers) to grind the barcode ribbon of the barcode print head.

Warm Tip: Use a cotton swab with alcohol to press it on the barcode print head from the beginning to the end, then rotate the roller and wipe it while rotating. If the cotton swab is dirty, don't use it again.
