Cleaning the print head
The print head is precision manufactured and there-
fore very sensitive. Dirt and debris can collect on the
print head during the printing process. This contami-
nation can damage the print head and lower the
quality of print.
Therefore it is important to use high-quality printing
media and to regularly clean the print head. Clean
the print head after each ribbon roll or after three la-
bel rolls have been printed.
NOTICE
Do not damage the print head!
Never use sharp or hard objects to clean
the print head.
CAUTION!
The print head is dangerously hot!
The print head can become very hot
during printing. Allow the head to cool
down before starting maintenance work.
