6 Cleaning
Disconnect the printer from the power supply before cleaning the printer!
6.1 General cleaning
It is possible for dust particles to gather during printing, particularly around the print mechanism. Remove these
particles with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner. Use a multi-purpose cleaning agent to clean the outer surfaces of
the printer.
Do not use scouring agents or solvents!
6.2 Cleaning the printing roller
A soiled printing roller can impair the print images and hinder material transport.
1. Swivel the print head down.
2. Take the labels and ink ribbon out of the printer.
3. Remove all deposits using spirits and a soft cloth.
6.3 Cleaning the print head
It is possible for impurities such as dust or ink particles from the ink ribbon to accumulate around the print head
during printing. This results in a clear deterioration in print quality.
We recommend the following cleaning intervals:
Thermo direct printing:
every time after the roll of labels has been changed
Thermotransfer printing: every time after the ink ribbon roll has been changed
•
Do not use any sharp or hard objects to clean the print head!
•
Do not touch the glass safeguard of the print head with your bare hands!
Clean the print head as follows:
1. Swivel the print head down.
2. Take the labels and ink ribbon out of the printer.
3. Clean the surface of the print head with cotton buds soaked in alcohol.
4. Leave the print head to dry for approx. 2 – 3 minutes before starting the printer again.
