Bradyprinter THT X-Plus II Series User Guide

Printers

All printers (excluding printheads) are warranted against defect in material or workmanship for twelve (12) months from the purchase date.

To qualify for this warranty, the printhead must be returned to the factory or to an authorized service center. Customers are not required to purchase Genuine Brady Corporation supplies (media and/or ribbons) for warranty qualification.

However, if it is determined that the use of inappropriate or inferior supplies has caused any defect in the printhead for which a warranty claim is made, the user is responsible for Brady Corporation’s labor and material charges required to repair the defect. The warranty becomes void if the printhead is physically worn or damaged; also if it is determined that failure to follow the preventive maintenance schedule listed in the Users Guide has caused defect in the thermal printhead for which a warranty claim is made.
