Cleaning
CAUTION: Use only the cleaning agents indicated. Zebra Technologies Corpora-
tion will not be responsible for damage caused by any other cleaning materials
used on the 170PAX3-Series print engine.
Table 4 provides a recommended cleaning schedule. Cleaning swabs saturated with
70% Isopropyl Alcohol are available from your Zebra distributor as a Preventive
Maintenance Kit (part # 01429).
Cleaning the Exterior
The exterior surfaces of the print engine may be cleaned with a lint free cloth. Do not
use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents! If necessary, a mild detergent solu-
tion or desktop cleaner may be used sparingly.
Cleaning the Interior
Remove any accumulated dirt and lint from the interior of the print engine using a soft
bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. This area should be inspected after every roll of
ribbon.
Cleaning the Sensors
To ensure proper operation of the print engine, all sensors should be cleaned on a regu-
lar basis. To locate the position of these sensors, refer to Figure 10 on page 44.
