To clean the printhead and platen roller, complete these steps:
1. Open the printhead assembly by rotating the printhead-open lever (1) counter-clockwise.
2. Remove the media and ribbon (if loaded).
Caution • The printhead may be hot and can cause severe burns. Allow the printhead to
cool.
Caution • Before touching the printhead assembly, discharge any built-up static electricity
by touching the metal printer frame or by using an anti-static wriststrap and mat.
Caution • While performing any tasks near an open printhead, remove all rings, watches,
hanging necklaces, identification badges, or other metallic objects that could touch the
printhead. You are not required to turn off the printer power when working near an open
printhead, but Zebra recommends it as a precaution. If you turn off the power, you will lose
all temporary settings, such as label formats, and you must reload them before you resume
printing.
