Setting up the printer

Cleaning the print head

To avoid lines or streaks in your prints, clean the print head before using it for the first time and whenever you replace the ribbon. If your site is particularly dusty, you may need to clean the head more often.

Cleaning pads come with each ribbon spool.

CAUTION: Always use the cleaning pad provided with the ribbon spool.

Never rub or wipe anything across the thermal head except when cleaning it.

To clean the print head:

1. Make sure the printer is turned off and open the cover.
