Cleaning
The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the printer.
You must clean the printhead as described below to manintain printhead
life.
You may need to clean the printhead and platen roller:
♦ If there is any lint or debris build up in the supply path
♦ Whenever you load new supplies
♦ Daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid
environment
♦ When you see voids or streaking in the print as shown.
You may have to clean the supply sensor more often if you
frequently receive supply error codes.
Paxar recommends that you clean the printhead and platen roller
at least once a day when the printer is in use. You may need to
clean more frequently depending on usage.
To clean the printhead, supply sensor, and platen roller:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the cover and printhead assembly.
3. Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cle]aning the printhead).
4. Clean the platen roller with a dry cloth or small brush. However, if there is adhesive gum
build-up on the platen roller, moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. Turn the
platen roller with your finger and run the cotton swab or dry cloth across it. Make sure the
platen roller is clean all the way around.
5. Moisten another cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. Rub the cotton swab across the
printhead and remove any build-up.
