MAINTAINING YOUR P-TOUCH

Cleaning the Print Head

Streaks or poor quality characters on printed	Print head
labels generally indicates that the print head is
dirty. Clean the print head using a cotton swab or
the optional print head cleaning cassette
(TZ-CL4).

• Do not touch the print head directly with your bare hands.

•Refer to the instructions provided with the print head cleaning cassette for directions on how to use it.

Cleaning the Tape Cutter

Tape adhesive can build up on the cutter blade after repeated use, taking the edge off the blade which may result in the tape jamming in the cutter.

• About once every year, wipe the cutter blade using a cotton swab moistened with Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).

•Do not touch the cutter blade directly with your bare hands.
