CARE &
MAINTENANCE
This chapter explains how to
♦ clean the printhead, platen roller, and supply
sensors
♦ clear label jams.
Caution: Do not touch the printhead with your
fingers. The printhead may be hot after
printing and may burn you. Wait until the
printhead is cool before cleaning.
Do not use sharp objects around the
printhead. This may damage the
printhead and require a service charge.
Cleaning
Your printing rate and frequency determines how often
you must clean the printer.
You may need to clean the printhead and platen roller
♦ after using seven to ten (7-10) rolls of supplies
♦ in extreme temperatures,
humid conditions or a dirty
environment
♦ when you see voids in the
print as shown
♦ after a label jam.
You may have to clean the supply sensors more often
if you receive supply error messages frequently.
