Cleaning The Print Head

As you use your printer, the print head may become dirty resulting in poor print quality. Whenever new labels are loaded into the printer, the print head should be cleaned with a Cleaning Card.

Cleaning cards are available in two sizes, 2" (P/N 800100-001) for the LP2022 & LP2122 and 4" (P/N 800101-001) for the LP2042 & LP2142. Supplies can be ordered from Eltron by calling 1(800) 344-4003.

Step ➊ Remove any labels loaded in the printer by pressing the tension release towards the rear of the printer and rewinding them onto the roll.

Step ➋ Insert the cleaning card into the feed slot be- tween the guide tabs until resistance is felt (approximately 3").

Step ➌ While continuing to gently push the cleaning card into the feed slot, press and hold the FEED control until the card is fed through the printer. Repeat steps 2-3 twice. Discard the cleaning card after it’s use.

Head cleaning cards are only effective for one cleaning cycle and should not be re-used.
