4.2 Cleaning the Print Head

A cleaning using the Cleaning System with cards usually suffices. However, a separate Print Head cleaning using swabs can remove more stubborn deposits when print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.

1. Raise Print Head and remove the Ribbon.

2.Clean Print Head by moving alcohol- moistened swab tip side-to-side across Print

Head elements. Only use moderate force. (To reorder swabs see Appendix C).

Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the print head. Permanent damage will result.
