Maintaining the Stamper

To maintain your stamper at peak operating
performance, follow these guidelines:

ƒ

Do not touch the print head or belt when the
unit is printing. This will cause the printer to
malfunction and require servicing.

ƒ

If printer speed slows down, replace all four
AA batteries. Operating the stamper with low
batteries will damage the stamper.

ƒ

Immediately replace the lithium cell display
battery if

BATT

appears in the display.

ƒ

Always cover the battery compartment
before printing.

ƒ

Keep stamper away from moisture.

ƒ

Avoid placing stamper in direct sunlight.

ƒ

Before printing, ensure paper surface is dust
free and print head is clean.

ƒ

When printing, place the paper on an
even surface.

ƒ

To clean the exterior of the stamper and the
battery compartment, wipe with a lint-free
cloth. Remove dirt and smudges using a cotton
ball and alcohol.

ƒ

Ensure surroundings are clean and free of
dust before performing maintenance on the
stamper.

ƒ

Perform stamper maintenance every three
months to prevent particle accumulation on the
print head.

ƒ

Using tweezers, carefully remove any dried ink
from the roller and then clean using a lint-free
cloth or cotton ball and alcohol.

ƒ

Clean stamper before storing if the stamper will
not be used for an extended period of time.

Maintaining the Battery

The stamper checks the status of the display
battery every hour. If the lithium cell display battery
is low,

BATT

appears in the display.

IMPORTANT:

If

BATT

appears in the display,

change the lithium cell battery immediately.
Operating the stamper on a low display battery
may cause damage to the stamper.

clip, rotate the ink roll
counter-clockwise and
pull the ink roll to remove
from the stamper.

pad ink on the ink roll.

roll in the proper position
inside the stamper.
