Chapter 6: Cleaning and Maintenance

For optimal printhead performance CognitiveTPG recommends cleaning the interior components (printhead, platen roller, media sensor, peel bar (if installed), ribbon, and media paths) every 20,000 inches (508 m). The thermal printhead should be cleaned every 5,000 inches if pre-printed labels are used. Proper maintenance reduces replacement costs by extending the life of the printhead and improves the performance of the printer.
