Cleaning the Printhead

In order for the printhead to provide good print quality, it must maintain close contact with the
media. Therefore, cleaning media debris from the printhead is very important. You should clean the
printhead after every roll, or 152 m (6,000 in), of media have been printed. Clean more often if
necessary.
Caution
Do not use sharp objects such as knives or screwdrivers to scrape the printhead
clean. Cleaning with sharp objects will damage the printhead. Clean with only a
cotton swab, a clean, lint-free cloth, or a tissue damp with isopropyl alcohol.
Conseil
N'utilisez pas d'objets pointus tels que couteaux ou tournevis pour nettoyer la tête
d'imprimante. Nettoyer avec des objets pointus endommagera la tête d'imprimante.
Nettoyez-la seulement avec de la ouate ou avec un linge propre et libre de peluches,
humecté avec de l'alcool d'isopropyl.
