Cleaning the Printhead
Routine cleaning after each media roll will help maintain the quality of the printhead on your ink
cartridge. You may also want to clean the printhead if your printed labels are missing lines or dots,
or if they contain ink streaks.
Before cleaning the printhead, verify that the cartridge is not low on ink. If the cartridge is not low
on ink, use the following instructions to clean the printhead.

The printhead cleaning process will begin. The printer status will show that cleaning is in
progress.
