5.1    Cleaning the Print Head

Dirt on the print head, or glue residue from the label stock may result in inadequate print quality. The printer 
cover must therefore always be closed during printing. Keeping dirt and dust away from the paper or labels ensures a 
good print quality and a longer lifespan of the print head.

Cleaning Steps

Here is how you clean the print head.
1.    Turn off the printer.
2.    Open the printer cover.
3.    To remove any label residue or other dirt from the print head, please use a soft lint-free cloth dipped with some alcohol.
