After every roll of ribbon, clean the printhead. Clean the printhead more often if you
see inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics.
For 200 and 300 dpi printers Clean after every roll (1500 feet or 450 m) of
thermal transfer ribbon or after every roll (500 feet or 150 m) of direct thermal labels
or when &/($1+($'12: appears on the LCD.
For 600 dpi printers Clean after each roll (500 feet or 150 m) of labels or when
&/($1+($'12: appears on the LCD.
Caution • Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.
Caution • An improperly seated printhead, data cable or power cable could
result in the printhead generating excessive heat that could cause harm if it is
touched.
Notes • You do not need to turn off the printer before cleaning the printhead.
If power is turned off, all label formats and images, as well as any temporarily
saved parameter settings stored in the printer’s internal memory, are lost. When
power is turned back on, these items must be reloaded.
If power is removed from a 600 dpi printer when cleaning the printhead, the
&/($1+($'12:warning shown on the LCD will not disappear.
