Print Head Considerations
Always use a new cleaning pen on the print head (an old pen carries contaminants from its
previous uses that may damage the print head).
When you load new media, you can also clean the print head.
1. Rub the cleaning pen across the dark area of the print head.
2. Wait one minute before closing the printer.
Do not clean the platen roller.
Caution • Adhesives and coatings of media can over time transfer onto the printer
components along the media path including the platen and print head. This build-up can
accumulate dust and debris. Failure to clean the print head, media path and platen roller
could result in inadvertent loss of labels, label jams and possible damage to the printer.
Important •
Using too much alcohol can result in contamination of the electronic components
requiring a much longer drying time before the printer will function properly.
Caution • The print head becomes hot while printing. To protect from damaging the print
head and risk of personal injury, avoid touching the print head. Use only the cleaning pen
to perform maintenance.
