7.2.4 Cleaning the Printhead
Clean the Printhead (every time the Print Ribbon is changed) to maintain consistent print quality,
as instructed below. This procedure should also be performed approximately every 1000 prints in
order to maintain consistent print quality.
CAUTION: Never use a sharp tool or abrasive object to clean the Printhead.
Watches, rings, bracelets and other jewelry can damage the Printhead.
Step Procedure
1 Remove watches, rings, bracelets and other jewelry.
2 Disconnect the Printer Power Supply and if applicable the Lamination Power Supply.
3 Open the front cover. Remove the Ribbon and InTM Film Cartridges
4 Use a Printhead Cleaning Swab (squeeze to saturate the tip) from the Printer Cleaning Kit to firmly wipe
back and forth across the surface of the Printhead.
The printing surface is vertical and faces the left side.
5 Reinstall the cartridges and close the cover once the Printhead is completely dry.
