5-2 Care and Maintenance
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. Do Not use sharp objects to
remove adhesive or label particles from the printhead area. Do Not
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 supply roll. See “Removing
Supplies” in Chapter 3.
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.
