5.1.3 Servicing the Print Head
Recommended cleaning cycle: whenever the ribbon is changed.
Servicing accessory: special cotton bud impregnated with isopropyl alcohol.
However, to maintain the original print quality and to absorb surplus ink on the print head, we recommend that you regularly clean the print head
(whenever the ribbon is changed and during the routine cleaning) using the cotton buds supplied by MagTek.
You must also protect the print head and its components from any discharge of static electricity.
Unplug the device from its power supply before cleaning the print head.
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.
