Caring for Your Printer

The LabelWriter printer is designed to give you long and trouble-free service, while
requiring very little maintenance. You will get the best possible performance from
your LabelWriter printer if you follow the setup instructions that appear in Getting
Started on page 10, and the cleaning procedures described in this section.
To keep your LabelWriter printer working properly, you should clean it from time to
time. Dusting the outside of the printer occasionally will help keep foreign matter
from getting inside the printer. However, it is still a good idea to periodically
perform some basic interior maintenance, such as cleaning the label path with a
LabelWriter cleaning card (available from www.dymo.com).
