Cleaning The Printhead - Paxar Monarch series Operator's Handbook Manual

Cleaning the Printhead

Clean the printhead
♦ after using 7-10 rolls of supplies
♦ in extreme temperatures, humid conditions, or a dirty environment
♦ when you see voids in the print
♦ after a supply jam.
Do not use silicone to clean or lubricate; use sharp objects to remove
adhesive or label particles from the printhead area; touch the printhead
with your fingers. These actions may damage the printhead and void
your warranty.
To clean the printhead:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the supply cover and remove the supplies. See "Removing
Supplies" in Chapter 3 for more information.
3. Check the supply holder for adhesive buildup and clean it if
necessary.
4. Ground yourself by
touching metal on
something other than the
printer. Grounding
prevents electrostatic
discharge, which may
damage your printer.
5. Clean the printhead area of
all adhesive and label
particles using a Monarch
Cleaning Pen (#114226) or
a soft cloth moistened with
isopropyl alcohol.
6. Reload the supply roll and
close the supply cover.
