Cleaning The Printhead - Intermec EasyCoder 3240 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. Clean after every roll (6,000 inches or 152 m) of media or when
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, or a clean, lint-free cloth or tissue damp with
isopropyl alcohol.
