Maintenance procedures
For reliable printer performance when feeding card stock and labels, follow the appropriate maintenance procedures
outlined in the following sections.

General maintenance

If the print quality begins to degrade when printing sheets of vinyl labels, we suggest you follow the three cleaning
steps below:
1
Print 5 sheets of paper.
2
Wait approximately 5 seconds.
3
Print 5 more sheets of paper.
To maintain printer feeding reliability, repeat this cleaning process every time you replace the print cartridge, more
often with some media. Failure to follow maintenance procedures could cause jamming, poor print quality, feeding
problems, and fuser problems.
