CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

15.2 

Printhead

• Locate the printhead component within the cartridge bay, near the platen roller. The 

printhead is located on a white ceramic rectangle. The printhead heater line is a 
very thin black line travelling almost the entire length of the ceramic piece. 

• Rub the swab along the entire heater line. Try to remove any build-up present. If 

excessive build-up is present and more leverage is needed, insert the swab through 
the cutter opening and clean the heater line from this angle.

15.3 

Polyester Printhead Shield

• Locate the printhead component within the cartridge bay, near the platen roller. At 

the very top of this component is a thin, clear plastic film made of polyester. This 
shield helps guide the cartridge safely over the printhead. Over time, it may collect 
adhesive.

• Rub the swab along the top surface of the plastic film. Try to remove any  

build-up present.
