4Use a cleaning card or a soft cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to dissolve any contamination on the line of heat-emitting dots at the front/bottom of the printhead.

5Wait 30 seconds and carefully rub off any contamination. Repeat if necessary.

Never use any hard or sharp tools to peel away stuck labels or similar,. The printhead is delicate and can easily be damaged.

6Allow the printhead to dry for a minute or more before loading a new supply of media and ribbon.

Internal Cleaning

Regular cleaning of the printer’s media compartment ensures smoother printing operation and avoids problems with media jams.

Use a soft cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the inside of the printer. Be sure to keep the following parts clean:

•Drive roller and tear bar.

•Media edge guides and media path.

•Label sensors.

Isopropyl alcohol [(CH3)2CHOH;CAS67-63-0] is a highly flammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.

If there are stuck labels, or adhesive residue from labels, peel as much as possible with your fingers, and then use isopropyl alcohol to dissolve the remaining adhesive.

External Cleaning

Making sure to keep the printer clean externally will reduce the risk of dust or foreign particles reaching the inside of the printer and affect printer functionality.
