Cleaning the Print Head and Platen Roller
Clean the print head :
After 7-10 rolls of standard supplies.
✓ In high temperature or humid conditions.
✓ When you see voids in the print (Figure 11).
In excessively dirty environments or with heavy usage, clean
the print head and supply holder more often.
Monarch recommends using the Pathfinder 6076™ Cleaning
Kit and reading the instructions before cleaning.
1. Remove the roll of supplies. Check the supply holder for
adhesive buildup, and clean with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Slide both latch buttons (Figure 12) to the rear twice and
release them to
completely
open the platen carrier.
3. Check the platen roller and carefully remove any stuck
labels or adhesive buildup.
