6.6 Thermal Printhead Cleaning
Dirt on the printhead or ribbon may result in inadequate print quality (there are only partial images on the label). The printer
cover should therefore be kept closed when possible.
Keeping dirt and dust away from the paper or labels ensures a good print quality and a longer lifespan of the printhead. Here is
how to clean the printhead:
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Remove the ribbon.
4. Release the printhead by turning the printhead release lever.
5. To remove any label residue or other dirt from the printhead, please use a soft lint-free cloth dipped in alcohol to wipe.
NOTE: The printhead should be cleaned once a week. Please make sure that there are not metal fragments or other hard
particles on the soft cloth used to clean the printhead.
