Skill Sticker: How to carry out maintenance on the bar code print head of consumables

The widespread use of bar codes has driven the fire of bar code printers, and the print heads have become one of the core application parts of printers. While receiving high-intensity work, the loss of the print head has become very severe, and the daily maintenance of the print head has become The problem of each user's head is that the replacement of a print head is not only costly, but also affects work efficiency. Therefore, when we use bar code printing equipment daily, we need to do scientific maintenance to extend the life, especially the maintenance of the print head. Is the top priority, then how to maintain the bar code print head?

First understand the factors that cause the printhead of the barcode printer to be damaged.

When talking about the daily maintenance of the print head, we must first understand the factors that cause the print head to be damaged. Abrasion, long-term movement of the printer head can cause wear on the ceramic coating of the label and ribbon, and expose the print head needle to the outside, resulting in damage, which is also the main cause of damage to the print head, reducing friction damage. To extend the life of the printhead.

1. When using the printer, try to reduce the pressure of the print head and the temperature generated by printing.

2. Ensure the width of the ribbon and the label to prevent the label from being scratched by the exposure of the print head.

3, often remove the waste accumulated in the print head, can quickly and easily remove the film with the print head

4, the dirty problem caused by the back layer of the ribbon, with a thermal transfer ribbon with back layer protection, this ribbon needs to refer to the non-adhesive ribbon, which has the function of static electricity and lubrication.

So, how to maintain the print head?

First: regular dust removal

Many users know that the bar code printer's print head will cause damage, so it is more difficult to avoid, but I don't know that dust will also affect the life. Regularly remove the dust from the bar code printer in daily life to prevent the heat transfer obstacle caused by the accumulation of pollutants and cause serious needle burning. .

Second: avoid high temperature scrubbing

Normally, the barcode printer print head needs to be wiped regularly with alcohol, but after the high-speed printing is completed, the whole body and the print head still have a higher temperature. Do not use alcohol to wipe the print head, which will cause the print head to wear out aging. Wait until the machine body is cooled before wiping the print head. Make sure the print head has no high temperature before wiping.

Third: use standard carriers

In the daily routine, in addition to regular cleaning of the bar code printer, the standard print carrier should be used in the daily life. For example, try to use dry and non-return paper for printing. If the paper is uneven, it may break the printer's print head. Needles, or long-term wear and tear reduce their life.

Fourth: Do not let external forces impact

When using the barcode printer on a daily basis, do not let the external force contact with the barcode printer, especially for the print head. If it is not necessary, do not interfere human interference. The external force impact may damage the print head and should be avoided.

Xiao Bian reminds: Since the bar code print head is a consumable item, daily scratches and abrasions are inevitable, but if you can pay attention to the above points and scientific maintenance, the life of the print head will be greatly improved. In addition to maintaining the print head, it is necessary to make scientific maintenance on the fuselage casing to prevent deformation of the moisture and damage of the external force.
