5-1. Cleaning the print head

Dirt on the print head or ribbon, or
glue residue from the label stock
may result in inadequate print
quality. The printer cover must
therefore always be closed during
printing. Keeping dirt and dust away
from the paper or labels ensures a
good print quality and a longer
lifespan of the print head. Here is
how you clean the print head:

1.

Switch off the printer.

2.

Open the printer cover.

3.

Release the print mechanism
and lift it.

4.

Remove the ribbon.

5.

To remove any label residue or
other dirt from the print head
(see blue arrow), please use a
soft lint-free cloth dipped in
alcohol.

Note 1

The print head should be cleaned
once a week.

Note 2

Please make sure that there are no
metal fragments or other hard
particles on the soft cloth used to
clean the print head.


5-2. Adjusting the print head pressure

When printing on special media
(with varying material thickness), the
print quality may suffer. You will then
need to adjust the print head
pressure.

1.

Open the printer cover.

2.

Remove the ribbon.

3.

Use a screw driver and slowly
turn the adjustment screws for
the print head to increase or
reduce the print head pressure.
