Cleaning the Exterior
The exterior surfaces of the printer may be cleaned with a lint-free cloth.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. If necessary, a
mild detergent solution or desktop cleaner may be used sparingly.
Cleaning the Interior
Remove any accumulated dirt and lint from the interior of the printer using
a soft bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner. Inspect this area after every roll
of media.
Cleaning the Printhead and Platen Roller
Inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics, may
indicate a dirty printhead. For optimum performance, perform the
following cleaning procedure after every roll of ribbon.
NOTE: It is not necessary to turn the printer off 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 DRAM
memory, will be lost. When power is turned back on, it will be necessary to
reload these items.
To clean the printhead, refer to Figure 16 and follow these steps:
1. Open the media access cover and the front cover (see Figure 4).
