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.
Clean after every roll of media (152 m or 6,000 in) or ribbon (457 m or 18,000 in).
Clean more often if necessary. There are two ways to clean the printhead:
•
Use the cleaning card.
•
Use a cotton swab and isopropyl alcohol.
Caution
Do not use sharp objects such as knives or screwdrivers to scrape the printhead
clean. Cleaning with sharp objects will damage the printhead.
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.
To clean the printhead using the cleaning card
1. Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.
2. Remove the media cover.
3. Disengage the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the printhead
releases. This raises the printhead so that you can clean it.
4. Remove the media and ribbon.
5. Open pouch and remove cleaning card.
6. Insert cleaning card into the printer following the media path.
7. Engage the printhead by rotating the head lift lever counterclockwise until it locks
in place.
