Your printing rate and frequency determines how often you must clean the printer.
You may need to clean the printhead and platen roller
♦ after using seven to ten (7-10) rolls of supplies.
♦ when you replace the ribbon.
♦ in extreme temperatures, humid conditions or a dirty environment.
♦ when you see voids in the print.
♦ after a label jam.
You may have to clean the supply sensors more often if you receive supply error messages
frequently.
Use any of the following items to clean the printhead:
♦ A clean, soft cloth.
♦ A cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
Caution: Use isopropyl alcohol on the interior areas only, never on the exterior. Do not use
household cleaners to clean the printer.
♦ A Cleaning Pen (order part number 114226).
To clean the printhead, platen roller, and supply sensors:
Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before cleaning the printer. Grounding prevents

electrostatic discharge, which may damage the printhead.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. Open the printer and remove the ribbon cassette and any supplies.
Note: Do not use sharp objects to remove adhesive or label particles from the printer.
