Cleaning

The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the printer.

You may need to clean the printhead and platen roller:

♦If there is any lint or debris build up in the supply path

♦Whenever you load new supplies

♦Daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid environment

♦When you see voids in the print as shown.

You may have to clean the supply sensor more often if you frequently receive supply error codes.

Paxar recommends that you clean the printhead and platen roller at least once a day when the printer is in use. You may need to clean more frequently depending on usage.

To clean the printhead, supply sensor, and platen roller:

1.Turn off the printer.

2.Open the cover and printhead assembly.

3.Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cleaning the printhead).

4.Clean the platen roller with a dry cloth or small brush. However, if there is adhesive gum build-up on the platen roller, moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. Turn the platen roller with your finger and run the cotton swab or dry cloth across it. Make sure the platen roller is clean all the way around.
