MAINTENANCE
Cameo printers will provide years of reliable service
provided a few simple guidelines are followed. The
printer should be cleaned approximately every two weeks
or more often, depending on usage and the type of media
being employed. Components of the printer that require
periodic maintenance are the print head, print roller
(platen), and the media sensor. When cleaning, please
use only isopropyl alcohol, the same type included in the
Cleaning Kit. Always use Zebra label or ticket stock for
maximum print quality and extended printer life.
Never use any sharp objects on printer mechanism as it
could damage the print head and platen. Use only the
supplied cleaning pen or a cotton swab saturated with
alcohol for cleaning. Always turn the printer off prior to
any cleaning operation.
