Brush or vacuum any accumulated paper lint and dust off the sensors at any time the
sensors are blocked. At minimum, clean the sensors (the ribbon sensor and optional
label available sensor shown below and the media sensors shown in Sensor
Adjustment on page 20) according to the schedule in Routine Procedures on page 112.
The callouts in this illustration show the sensor components and the printhead and
platen roller assembly. The table that follows identifies the callouts.
Note • If print quality has not improved after performing this procedure, try
cleaning the printhead with Save-a-Printhead cleaning film. This specially coated
material removes contamination buildup without damaging the printhead. Call your
authorized Zebra reseller or distributor for more information.
