Cleaning Information
Danger: Risk of death via electric shock! Disconnect the printer from the power supply before
performing any maintenance work.
The label printer requires very little maintenance.
It is important to clean the thermal printhead regularly. This guarantees a consistently good
printed image and plays a major part in preventing premature wear of the printhead.
Otherwise, the maintenance is limited to monthly cleaning of the device.
Attention: The printer can be damaged by aggressive cleansers. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or solvents for cleaning the external surfaces or modules.
