from its previous uses that may damage the printhead).
When you load new media, you can al so clean the prin thead.
1. Rub the cleaning pen across the dark area of the printhead. Clean from the middle to the
outside. This will move adhesive transferred from the edges of media to the printhead
outside of m edia path.
2. Wait one minute before closing the printer.
Caution • The printhead becomes hot while printing. To protect from damaging the
printhead and risk of personal injury, avoid touching the printhead. Use only the cleaning pen
to perform maintenance.
