Q: How do I maintain or clean the Copal printer?
A: The best way to keep the Copal printer in operation is to ensure that dust or debris does not get into the body of the unit. Regular maintenance, including cleaning the roller transport and print head section, will help maintain quality print production on the printer. Use a slightly damp cloth or ethyl alcohol (used sparingly) for hard to remove items such as ribbon residue on the roller transport or print head. The air filter, located on the side of the printer, should also be cleaned regularly and may be washed with water. Be sure that the filter is dry before inserting it back into position and using the printer, otherwise the printer may become damaged.
