Cleaning the printhead
A cleaning using the cleaning system with cards usually suffices. However, a
separate printhead cleaning using swabs can remove more stubborn deposits
when print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.
1.
Switch power Off, then open cover by pressing both cover release buttons and
remove the ribbon cartridge.
2.
Clean printhead by moving alcohol-moistened swab tip side to side across print
head elements. Only use moderate force.
Make sure the elements are dry before switching on.
(To reorder swabs, see Appendix B).
Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the print
head. Permanent damage will result.
