Maintenance
Your printer should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance and life span.
Cleaning the Unit
Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit using a soft, dry cloth.
Use a slightly dampened cloth on difficult to remove marks.
Cleaning the Print Head
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed labels generally
indicate that the Print Head is dirty. Clean the Print Head using a
cotton swab or the optional Print Head cleaning cassette (TZe-CL4).

Cleaning the Tape Cutter
Tape adhesive can build up on the cutter blades after repeated use,
dulling the blade, which may result in tape jams.

Always remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter before cleaning the printer.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other organic solvent. These may deform the
case or damage your printer.
• Do not touch the Print Head directly with your bare hands.
• Refer to the instructions provided with the Print Head cleaning
cassette for directions on how to use it.
• About once a year, wipe the cutter blade using a dry cotton swab.
