Cleaning the Exterior
The exterior surfaces of the Zebra XiII-Series printer may be cleaned with a
lint-free cloth. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. If
necessary, a mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner may be used spar-
ingly.
Cleaning the Interior
Remove any accumulated dirt and lint from the interior of the printer using
a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. Inspect this area after every four
rolls of media.
Cleaning the Printhead and Platen Roller
Inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics, may
indicate a dirty printhead. For best results, perform the following cleaning
procedure after every roll of ribbon.
Note: You do not need to turn the printer off before cleaning the printhead. If
power is turned off, all label formats and images, as well as any temporarily
saved parameter settings stored in the printer's internal memory, will be
lost. When power is turned back on, you will need to reload these items.
To clean the printhead, refer to Figure 11 and follow these steps:
1. Open the Media Compartment Door.
