5.7 Cleaning the Print Head

The printer should be cleaned at regular intervals to retain high quality and
optimum performance. The greater the usage of the printer, the more frequent
the cleaning.

printhead to cool for a minimum of one minute.

2. Open the printer cover.
3. Open the printer carriage by pulling up the release lever on the left side of

the front rubber roller.

4. Remove the ribbon and label.
5. Clean the print had element with a head cleaner pen or use a cotton swab

and 100% ethanol to clean the print head surface.

Note:
* Do not touch printer head by hand. If you touch it careless, please use

ethanol to clean it.

It’s industry alcohol. Please do not use regular alcohol, which may

damage the printer head.
