Cleaning the printhead

WARNING!
Burn hazard! The printhead can become hot
during operation.

Be careful whenever touching the printer.
Paper dust and coloured particles from the thermal
transfer ribbon may collect on the printhead during
printing. Over time, this can significantly impair the
printing quality in the following ways:
•
Contrast differences in label
•
Bright strips in printing direction
Cleaning interval
•
Thermal transfer print: every time the ribbon roll is
changed
•
Thermal direct print: every time the label roll is
changed
Preparing the printhead
1. Switch off the machine.
2. Unplug the mains power connecting line.
3. Remove the label material and ribbon.
4. Remove both wing bolts [3A] until the printhead can
be swivelled up.

Before swivelling the printhead up, shift it about
1 cm towards the middle of the axle.

If the printhead is not at the limit stop on the
side, mark the position on the axle in advance.
