PB50 and PB51 Mobile Label and Receipt Printer: Identifying the parts of the
printer to clean regularly
Clean the printhead after printing five rolls of media to prolong the
life of the printhead and ensure high print quality.
Clean the printhead with the cleaning swab or cleaning pen. The
cleaning swab is shipped with the printer and can also be purchased
separately from www.intermec.com.
Note: Intermec recommends that you use only the cleaning swab or
cleaning pen for this task. Using other methods or tools to clean the
printhead and platen roller can damage the printer.
To clean the printhead
1 Open the media cover.
2 Remove the media and ribbon.
3 Use the cleaning swab or cleaning pen to dissolve any
contamination on the line of heat-emitting objects at the front or
bottom of the printhead.
