Cleaning the printhead on a regular basis is important for the life
of the printhead and for the printout quality. You should clean
the printhead each time you replace the media. This section
describes how to clean the printhead using cleaning cards. If
additional cleaning is required, for example removing adhesive
residue from the platen roller or tear bar, use a cotton swab
moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH-3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly
flammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
To clean the printhead
1 Open the front and side doors.
2 Turn the printhead lift lever counterclockwise to raise the
printhead.
