MAINTENANCE
Cameo printers will provide years of reliable service provided a few simple guidelines are followed. The printer should be cleaned approximately every two weeks or more often, depending on usage and the type of media being employed. Components of the printer that require periodic maintenance are the print head, print roller (platen), and the media sensor. When cleaning, please use only isopropyl alcohol, the same type included in the Cleaning Kit. Always use Zebra label or ticket stock for
maximum print quality and extended printer life.
Never use any sharp objects on printer mechanism as it could damage the print head and platen. Use only the supplied cleaning pen or a cotton swab saturated with alcohol for cleaning. Always turn the printer off prior to any cleaning
operation.
