To clean the Thermal Print Head, turn the scale OFF. Open the printer’s side-access door and
release the print head using the release lever. Using the Thermal Head Cleaner Pen, rub it gently from
left to right working your way from the front to the back of the print head. See diagrams below. Do this
until the thermal head is clean which should take no longer than 10 seconds. Allow the print head to
dry for 5 minutes and then lock it down, close the printer’s side-access door, and turn the scale ON.
