428LT Operator’s Manual- 880040-0200   

10.2  Thermal Printer Cleaning Card 

Any decline in print quality, voids or dropout areas in bar codes and/or graphics may 
indicate that the print head is dirty and needs to be cleaned.  The necessary cleaning 
materials may be purchased through Microcom Corporation by contacting your sales 
representative and ordering the 

Cleaning Kit, part # 040005-0000

.  Also, ask your Sales 

Representative about Thermal cleaning pens or the many types of pre-moistened cleaning 
swabs available.   
 
The print head should be cleaned after every roll of media or after every 512 feet of fanfold 
media (a typical stack of tag or fanfold media is approximately 3,200 tags). 
 
A thermal printer card is the quickest and easiest way to clean the print head, drive roller, 
and peel edge all at the same time.  Follow the steps below for the proper cleaning 
procedure.  
 

1.  Remove any installed media. 

 

2.  Dampen both sides, on one end, of the cleaning card with isopropyl alcohol. 

 

3.  Open the printhead assembly and insert the cleaning card into the paper path so that 

the cleaning card exits the front of the printer. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 

Figure 10-1  Inserting Cleaning Card 

 
 

4.  Close the print head assembly and hold the printer. Slowly pull the cleaning card (you 

will feel resistance) out of the printer. 

 

5.  Reinstall the media and check print quality. 

 

6.  Repeat cleaning steps if necessary. 

 

Thermal cleaning cards should not be used more than three times each.  Extremely dirty 

cards should be disposed of immediately.
