Cleaning the Printhead

This procedure should be performed approximately every 250 prints or as needed depending on the cleanliness of your card stock and the environment in which the Printer is located. This procedure should also be performed if you notice a streak on the card where color was not transferred.

Caution: Never use a sharp tool or a metal object of any kind to clean the

Printhead. Remove watches, rings, bracelets, and other jewelry before touching any internal components of the Printer.

Step

Procedure

 

 

 

 

1

Open the Printer's Print Top Cover. (Note: Manually roll up any dust and /

 

or other particles laying on the surface of the ribbon into a take-up roll. Dust

 

may settle on the top surface of the ribbon and cause print quality

 

problems.)

 

 

2

Use a Printhead Cleaning Pen from the Printer Cleaning Kit to firmly wipe

 

back and forth across the surface of the Printhead.

 

OR

 

Use a soft, lint-free cloth (slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol) to wipe

 

dust and other accumulated particles off the surface of the printhead.

 

 

 

Caution: If using a cloth, be extremely careful not to use too much

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

alcohol. It must not be allowed to drip into the Printer.

 

 

3

Once the Printhead is completely dry, close the Printer. If a streak persists,

 

repeat this process.
