Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Your Zebra P120i Printer

1. Use the Cleaning Card

Take the cleaning card from its packaging. 按著這些次序:

• Hold the control button on your printer for several seconds. This will eject any card that may be stuck inside.
• Remove the printer cartridge and close the lid of the printer.
• Take out any remaining PVC cards from the card feeder and close the printer cover.
• Feed the long cleaning card by inserting the smaller end into the card exit slot. The card will feed through to clean the internal components.
• 下一個, open the card feeder and pull back the blue card guide. Insert the short t-shaped cleaning card into the slot to clean additional areas.
• When the LCD screen prompts you, open the lid, push the card guide open, and remove the cleaning card.
• Once the screen displays “ready”, you can reload your cards and ribbon to resume printing.

2. Clean the Printhead with a Cleaning Swab

The printhead is a delicate component that requires careful cleaning. To clean it:

• Take a cleaning swab and gently swab the printhead in a single direction. Avoid scrubbing back and forth, as this can damage the printhead.
• Ensure that the cleaning solution from the swab covers the entire printhead area.

3. 清潔印表機外部

Using a lint-free cloth, wipe down the exterior surfaces of the printer. 如果需要的話, lightly dampen the cloth with isopropyl alcohol to remove stubborn stains or residue. Ensure the printer is completely dry before plugging it back in.

4. Allow the Printer to Dry

清潔後, let the printer air dry for a few minutes before closing the cover and plugging it back in.

5. Run a Test Print

Once the printer is dry and reassembled, turn it on and run a test print. This ensures that the cleaning process was successful and that the printer is functioning correctly.

Tips for Regular Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Clean your Zebra P120i printer at least once a month or after every 1,000 prints.
• Proper Storage: Store your printer in a clean, 無塵環境.
• Use Genuine Supplies: Always use genuine Zebra cleaning supplies to ensure compatibility and effectiveness.
