This chapter provides instructions on cleaning your LABXPERT
well as an accessory parts list.

Cleaning

Follow these instructions to keep your printer running at optimal performance.
1. Remove the label cartridge.
2. Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol and thoroughly wipe the following:
WARNING: Make sure you use a foam swab (with black handle) provided in your
cleaning kit. See the Accessory Parts List on page 37.
WARNING: Make sure to wait five minutes after cleaning so the printer is dry before
installing a cartridge.
a. Print head – Try cleaning the print head with a dry swab first. Wipe the print line
(black) area only. Do not wipe the green area.
b. Label exit slot – Make sure to wipe the breaker bar located on the inside of the label exit
slot. The cutter blade meets the breaker bar when a label is cut.
c. Deflector plate – This is located above the print head, to the right of the platen roller.
See Illustration C on the following page.
