To properly maintain the printer, you should clean it regularly. You
can clean these parts of the printer:
• The printhead
• The media guides
• The exterior of the printer
• The cutter (if installed)
Caution: To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the
printer, never insert any pointed or sharp objects into the printer.
Caution: Use only the cleaning agents specified in this section.
Intermec is not responsible for damage caused by any other
cleaning materials used on this printer.
Caution: Isopropyl alcohol is a highly flammable, moderately
toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
Follow these guidelines for cleaning the printer:
• Always remove the power cord before cleaning.
• Never spray the printer with water. Protect it from water when
cleaning the premises.
• Never use any sharp tools for removing stuck labels. The printhead
and rollers are delicate.
Cleaning the printhead on a regular basis is important for the life of
the printhead and for the print quality. You should clean the
printhead each time you replace the media. Follow this procedure to
clean the printhead using the cleaning card. If you need to clean
additional residue from the platen roller or tear bar, use a cotton swab
moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
