How to use the card printer cleaning card

1. Ribbon deviation occurs during printing

The main reason is that the platen spring is uneven and the paper limiter is not adjusted according to the width of the label, not because of the poor quality of the ribbon cutting.

2. The printing is not clear and the quality is poor

There may be the following reasons:

1. The temperature of the print head is too low or the print density is too light
. 2. The print head is not installed correctly

3. There is always a shallow thin line on the label printed by the printer

If your printer has such a problem, it proves that you have not done enough to maintain the printer.

When there are one or several lines running through the entire card, the most likely reason is that your print head is damaged. The reason for such a problem is that there are large dust particles on the card surface or in your machine, which causes the print head to come into contact with the dust particles while punching the card, thus scratching the print head.

If the printer punches a card and there is a large area of ​​the card that is not printed, there are two possibilities:

1. The print head is seriously damaged. 2. The data cable of the print head is damaged. If this happens to your printer, please contact our engineers to confirm the damaged part and repair method.

The damage of the print head is irreparable. In this case, only a new print head can be replaced.

The way to avoid this situation is: 1. Pay attention to cleaning the printer regularly. 2. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the card surface (check for abnormal protrusions). 3. Be careful not to touch the print head when opening or closing the case cover. 4. When checking the machine, do not carry watches, rings and other objects that are easy to touch the print head (note static electricity).

If your print head is damaged, you will need to purchase a new print head to replace it.

4. Occasionally, some spots will appear on the label printed by the printer

If there are some spots on your printed cards, it is because your printer has accumulated dust and needs to be cleaned in time. It is recommended that you use special cleaning tools when cleaning, which can well protect the printer from damage.

If your printer is not cleaned for a long time, there will be some large dust particles inside the printer, which will scratch your print head when you punch the card, causing irreparable damage to the print head.

The working principle of the card printer is the same. When punching the card, keep the card surface neat and clean (it is best to wipe each card with an eye cloth before printing), so that the printed card will not be flawed.

6. Why does the ribbon “stick” to the cloth label?

When the barcode machine is printing the cloth label (tape), some types of barcode machines will have the carbon tape and the cloth label stick together. 

Let’s take a look at how the carbon ribbon and the cloth label are glued together:

The thermal transfer barcode machine is like a hot stamping machine, except that the hot stamping machine uses gold paper, while the barcode machine uses carbon ribbons. They are all one material that is attached to another material through high temperature. If the printed material is melted at this temperature, it will stick to the carbon ribbon or gold paper.

After clarifying this relationship, we can lower the temperature of the hot spot of the printing hair of the bar code machine or reduce the pressure of the printing head, which can prevent the ribbon from sticking to the cloth label, but sometimes this method is not It is suitable for any barcode machine (low-end barcode machine). At this time, they can pull the cloth label when printing the cloth label (remember to pull it at the beginning of printing!) so that it can also be slightly raised in usefulness.

The most thorough way is to change to an industrial barcode machine with better performance. This kind of barcode machine will not appear in this situation when printing. In addition, if you really don’t want to change it, you can also put the barcode machine in an air-conditioned room. This will improve the situation. Some customers say the conditions are better in winter than in summer! Maybe it’s the ambient temperature.
