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) of media or 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, or a clean, lint-free cloth or tissue damp with
isopropyl alcohol.
