You must clean the printhead as described below to maintain printhead life.

CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects to clean the printhead or touch the printhead.

This may damage the printhead and require a service charge.

The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the

printer. You may need to clean the printhead, sensor, and platen roller:

♦ if there is any adhesive build-up in the supply path.

♦ after printing approximately 3 rolls of thermal transfer/thermal

direct supplies or after each ribbon.

♦ daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid

environment.

♦ if you frequently receive supply error codes or when you see

voids or streaking in the print as shown.

Turn off the printer and open the cover and printhead assembly.

Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cleaning the printhead).

Clean the platen roller when you see significant adhesive build-up or a label is

wrapped around the platen roller. Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a

toothbrush, to clean either the standard (black) or linerless (red/orange

textured) platen roller.

If the brush does not remove all the adhesive

♦ use isopropyl alcohol ONLY on the standard (black) platen roller.

Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and run the cotton swab

across the platen roller. Turn the platen roller with your finger to

make sure the platen roller is clean all the way around.

After cleaning, feed several inches of supply through without printing

to remove any remaining isopropyl alcohol.

♦ call Service to clean the linerless (red/orange textured) platen roller.

Note:

Do not use alcohol or solvents on linerless (red/orange textured) platen

rollers.

Rub the cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol across the peel bar and

remove any build-up.
