Cleaning

Cleaning the printhead on a regular basis is important for the life of the printhead and for the printout quality. You should clean the printhead each time you replace the ribbon and media. This section describes how to clean the printhead using cleaning cards. If additional cleaning is required, for example removing adhesive residue from the platen roller or tear bar, use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol.

Warning!

Isopropyl alcohol [(CH3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly ﬂammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
