Cleaning the Printer

The following procedures tell you how to access the printer components and
how to clean them properly.
Note: Turn off and unplug the printer before cleaning any components.

Cleaning the Printhead

maintains close contact between the media and printhead, which provides
good print quality. The printhead should be cleaned after every five rolls of
media. If a label jams during printing, clean the printhead immediately after
you remove the label.
Caution
Do not use sharp objects such as knives or screwdrivers to scrape the
printhead clean. Cleaning with sharp objects will damage the printhead.
Clean with a cotton swab, or a clean, lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
Conseil
N'utilisez pas d'objets pointus tels que couteaux ou tournevis pour nettoyer
la tête d'impression. Nettoyer avec des objets pointus endommagera la tête
d'impression. Nettoyez-la avec de la ouate ou avec un linge propre et libre de
peluches, humecté avec de l'alcool d'isopropyl.
