Printer Maintenance

QL-850 User Guide

Use a swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the ink cartridge connection
contacts inside the printer.

Insert all four ink cartridges into the unit, one at a time, according to the ink color indicated
on the ink cartridge latches.

Close the two ink cartridge latches.

Cleaning the Printhead Manually

When heavy and light automated cleanings are not sufficient in nozzle restoration, a manual
cleaning method can be used.

This process requires a clean lint-free cloth, de-ionized or distilled water, and the original
printhead packaging cap. A cleaning cloth is available from QuickLabel (part number
14806000).

Remove the printhead using the printhead replacement function in the Parts
Replacement tab of the QL-850 Maintenance Utility.

Although the printhead will not be replaced, this procedure can be used to remove the
printhead and reinstall it.
