The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the
printer. When you are using increased print contrast, we recommend cleaning the
printhead after each ribbon. When you are using continuous supply, the printer displays
“Clean Supply Sensor” after printing 60,000 inches of supply.
You may need to clean the printhead, sensor, and platen roller:
 if there is any adhesive build-up in the supply path.
 after printing approximately three rolls of thermal transfer/thermal
direct supplies or after each ribbon.
V o i d s
 daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid
environment.
 if there are voids or streaking in the print as shown.
Follow the instructions below to clean the printhead
.
5. Turn off the printer, open the printer’s cover and printhead
assembly.

8. Spray the supply path, including the supply sensor, with compressed air to remove
dust and debris.
9. Use a CLEAN-STRIP (part number 120350) to clean the platen roller, peel bar,
printhead and sensor when you see significant adhesive build-up or after clearing a
jammed label. Turn the platen roller with your finger to make sure it is clean all the
way around. If adhesive remains, call Customer Service.
