    Isopropyl alcohol is a flammable solvent; always take the proper precautions when using this substance. Proper cleaning is critical. To maintain peak performance of the printer, Datamax-O’Neil offers a complete line of cleaning products including pens, cards, films and swabs. Visit our website at http://www.datamax-oneil.com to learn more.
  • Page 64 If print quality declines (symptoms include non-compliant bar codes, print dropouts, and streaks; see sample label below), the typical cause is debris build-up on the printhead. Furthermore, when the build-up is not removed it may lead to element failure, greatly reducing the service life of the printhead.

  • Page 65: Media Width Adjustment

    Automated Printhead Cleaning 1. Remove media and ribbon. 2. Place a Datamax-O’Neil Cleaning Card, part number 70-2013-01 under the printhead. Lower and lock the printhead. Ensure that the Media Width Adjustment is not engaged. 3. Press and hold the TEST Key for approximately four seconds.
  • Page 66 Whenever using narrow media (sizes that are less than the width of the printhead), adjust the Leveling Cam for even pressure distribution. Adjust the Printhead Leveling Cam as follows: 1. With media loaded, download your label format (or use a Test Menu format) then begin printing a small batch of labels.

  • Page 67: Printhead Pressure Adjustment

    Printhead Pressure Adjustment should only be performed after attempting to improve print quality through the use of other print quality controls. A. With media loaded, download your label format (or use a Test Menu format) then begin printing a small batch of labels. B.
