Caring for Your Printer

The LabelWriter printer is designed to give you long and trouble-free service, while requiring very little maintenance. You will get the best possible performance from your LabelWriter printer if you follow the setup instructions that appear in the Quick Start Guide and the procedures described in this section.

You can easily clean your LabelWriter printer using the following items:

•Lint-free cloth.

•Isopropyl alcohol, diluted dishwashing detergent, or diluted glass cleaner. Caution If you use glass cleaner, make sure it does not contain ammonia.

•Small, soft brush, such as a tooth brush or child’s paint brush.

•LabelWriter cleaning card.

One cleaning card (part number 60622) is included in your printer package. To purchase additional cleaning cards, visit www.dymo.com or call (800) 426-7827.

To keep your LabelWriter printer working properly, you should clean it from time to time. Dusting the outside of the printer occasionally will help keep foreign matter from getting inside the printer. However, it is still a good idea to periodically perform some basic interior maintenance, such as cleaning the label path with the cleaning card.

2Use the lint-free cloth to wipe the exterior of the printer.
