Maintenance
Cleaning
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
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.
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).
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.
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.
