Clean Your Printer

We recommend cleaning your printer on a regular basis to maintain its correct performance.

Always disconnect the printer from any power source before cleaning.

>> Clean the Exterior of the Unit
>> Clean the Label Output Slot
>> Clean the Roller
>> Clean the Print Head

Clean the Exterior of the Unit

•

Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit using a soft, dry cloth. Use a cloth slightly damp with water on
difficult to remove marks.

IMPORTANT

Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol or any other organic solvent. These may deform or damage
the printer case.

Clean the Label Output Slot

•

If adhesive residue gets attached to the Label Output Slot, it may cause label jams. Clean the Label Output
Slot with a dry cotton swab.

IMPORTANT

Do not use alcohol to clean the Label Output Slot.

NOTE

Always remove the ejected labels from the Label Output Slot. If the slot becomes blocked, label jams
may occur.
