Cleaning the Printhead Manually
When heavy and light automated cleanings are not sufficient in nozzle restoration, a manual
cleaning method can be used.
This process requires a clean lint-free cloth, de-ionized or distilled water, and the original
printhead packaging cap. A cleaning cloth is available from QuickLabel (part number
14806000).
1 Remove the printhead using the printhead replacement function in the Parts Replacement
tab of the QL-800 Maintenance Utility.
Although the printhead will not be replaced, this procedure can be used to remove the
printhead and reinstall it.
