Cleaning The Printhead - Intermec EasyCoder 4420 Getting Started Manual

Cleaning the Printhead

In order for the printhead to provide good print quality, it must maintain close contact with the
media. Therefore, cleaning media debris from the printhead is very important. You should clean
the printhead after every roll, or 6,000 inches (152 m), of media have been printed. If you are
printing in thermal transfer mode, you may want to clean the printhead after every ribbon roll or
18,000 inches (457 m) of ribbon. Clean more often if necessary.
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 only a
cotton swab, a clean, lint-free cloth, or a tissue damp with isopropyl alcohol.
