Steris 444 printer problem
RE: Washer/Decontaminator Report Post
Report Post
Try what they describe in the Service Bulletin below. We did this on a Synergy Washer that we were having similar printer problems with. It appears to have corrected our problem.
SERVICE BULLETIN
Product: Reliance Series Washers Bulletin No.: 03008-I
Section: Decontamination Supplement No.: D-96
Approved: Date: 02/01/03
Subject: 3000 Control Power Supply Electrical Connectors - Application of Nyogel
SITUATION: Intermittent power failures and display faults.
DESCRIPTIVE
CAUSE: Intermittent faults are usually caused by poor electrical contact connection.
ACTION: Apply Nyogel 760G to low voltage electrical connections, STERIS part number
P764329-907. This product should also be used on any low voltage electronic
connection point where intermittent faults are suspected. This would include power
supply connections and DC cable connections.
Proper application is important and should be as follows:
• Do not use Nyogel on 120 VAC connections.
• Do not use cotton swabs to apply Nyogel, as the cotton strands will actually
cause an increase in resistance in the connection.
• Using the applicator tube, completely fill the socket in a connector. Do not apply
to the pin.
• After application, plug and unplug the connector two or three times. This
distributes the Nyogel and cleans the contact surfaces.

We have a Steris 444 and problem with printer (less than half line of characters) and also with a flashing display.
I just clean all connectors for printer and display with contact cleaner and it's work fine.
Thank you for your help.
