7. Maintenance
Cleaning the Print Head and Roller
Only use cleaning cloths from Imaje. These are specially designed for cleaning Imaje thermal printers. See chapter 10.2 for correct type.
Note:
Frequent cleaning prevents print head and roller damage, and is especially important in demanding environments.
• Do not use liquids or aerosols when cleaning this printer.
• Never use sharp or pointed tools when cleaning or replacing the print head.
• Don't use any sharp object to remove labels from the print roller.
Remove all media before starting:
1. Tear the bag.
2. Pull out the cleaning cloth.
3. Pull the handle and feed the cloth into the printer in the same way as inserting the media (described in chapter 5.3). Fold the handle and press the printkey.
4. Keep the printkey pressed and let the cloth pass through the printer. (This cleans the print head.)
Note: If the roller is clogged with labels it can easily be removed for cleaning (see 9.1).
