How to extend the life of barcode printers

1. Correct operation:

Whether the user's operation is correct or not 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 regular professional maintenance adjustment is complete, the above points affect the service life of the bar code printer.

3. Environmental factors:

Barcode printers should be turned off when not in use, so that the machine can be kept at a low temperature as much as possible. It is best to be separated by 5 to 10 minutes when switching the power supply. Try to place it in a cleaner environment. If the above conditions are met, the life of the bar code printer will last at least 5%.

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.

Bar code print head pre-maintenance

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. Note that when cleaning the bar code printhead, remove the ring to prevent scratching the bar code printhead and use a grounded metal strap or antistatic mat to prevent static damage to the bar code printhead.

You can use a 70% alcohol swab to turn off the printer and turn on the barcode printhead. Use a small amount of cotton to brush on the mechanical part of the printer, or gently blow off the dust (eg roller, paper/ribbon sensor and barcode printhead) . Do not use any hard metal or abrasive tools (such as screwdrivers) to tamper with the bar code print head contaminants.

Use a cotton swab with alcohol to press it on the bar code print head from the head, then rotate the roller and use it to wipe it while the cotton swab is dirty. Do not use it again.

Factors that cause premature damage to bar code printer bar code printheads

Scratch - The long-term movement of the label/ribbon through the bar code printhead wears the protective layer of the ceramic coating, exposing the bar code printhead needle (dot) and eventually damaging it.

To avoid scratches, often clean the bar code printhead and use a high-quality smooth and back-coated film thermal transfer ribbon to reduce friction;

Minimize bar code printhead pressure and print temperature;

Make sure the ribbon width is wider than the label to prevent the exposed barcode printhead from being scratched by the label.

Dirty caused by the back layer of the ribbon

When the bar code printhead is contaminated by thermal paper and thermal transfer ribbon, high temperature, high pressure, high speed and other high setting values ​​are required. The accumulation of contaminants on the bar code printhead causes thermal transfer barriers that affect the quality of the printed image. The increase in contamination gradually reduces the print quality and looks dull or damages the print pins. Contaminants make it difficult to clean the wetted cotton swabs.

In order to avoid the dirt caused by the back layer of the ribbon, it is necessary to use a thermal transfer ribbon that has been protected by a back layer. This ribbon needs to refer to a non-adhesive ribbon, and has a static electricity and a more lubricating effect.

Always do barcode printer maintenance.

Barcode printhead film can be quickly and easily removed using the Barcode Printer Barcode Printhead film.
