isopropyl alcohol to dissolve any contamination on the line of
heat-emitting dots at the front/bottom of the printhead.

Repeat if necessary.
6 Allow the printhead to dry for a minute or more before
loading a new supply of media and ribbon.
Internal Cleaning
Regular cleaning of the printer’s media compartment ensures
smoother printing operation and avoids problems with media
jams.
Use a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the
inside of the printer. Be sure to keep the following parts clean:
• Drive roller and tear bar.
• Media edge guides and media path.
• Label sensors.
If there are stuck labels, or adhesive residue from labels, peel as
much as possible with your fingers, and then use isopropyl
alcohol to dissolve the remaining adhesive.
External Cleaning
Making sure to keep the printer clean externally will reduce the
risk of dust or foreign particles reaching the inside of the printer
and affect printer functionality.
Never use any hard or sharp tools to peel away
stuck labels or similar,. The printhead is delicate
and can easily be damaged.
