Servicing the Print Head
Recommended cleaning cycle: whenever the ribbon is changed.
Servicing accessory: special cotton swab impregnated with isopropyl alcohol or cleaning pen.
To maintain the original print quality and to absorb excess ink on the print head, we recommend that you clean the print head regularly (at each
ribbon change and periodic cleaning) using the cotton swabs provided by Evolis. You must also protect the print head and its components from
any electrostatic discharge.
Follow the cleaning cycles scrupulously.
Avoid any contact between the print head and any metal or sharp objects.
Avoid touching the print head directly with your fingers, as this could affect print quality or permanently damage the print head.
Follow the procedure below:
1
Take an Evolis cotton swab and press the middle of the tube until the end of the swab is soaked in alcohol.
2
Open the cover and locate the print head.
3
Gently rub the swab from left to right along the print head for a few seconds.
4
Close the cover.
Wait for 2 minutes after cleaning before using your printer.
