Preventive Maintenance 2

Cleaning the Media Guides and Media Path

Clean the media guides and media path regularly to keep debris off the media surface and printhead where irregularities can spoil print quality or damage the printhead. Cleaning the guides also helps prevent media skewing or improper tracking as it travels through the paper path, which can result in print problems. Always clean the media guides immediately after any label jam in the printer.

Media debris may accumulate around the printer mechanism and along the media path during normal operation of the printer. Clean debris away using a soft bristle brush or vacuum cleaner. Remove all traces of dust, paper, and adhesive. Clean the flat surfaces of the media path (including the edge guide) with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Also remove all traces of dust, paper, and adhesive from the pinch rollers on the media access door.
