Cleaning
Clean the printhead, peel bar, sensor, and platen roller:
♦ when there is any adhesive build-up in the supply path.
♦ after printing approximately three rolls of thermal transfer/thermal direct supplies or
after each ribbon.
♦ daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid environment.
♦ if there are voids or streaking in the print as shown.
1. Turn off the printer, open the cover and printhead assembly.
2. Remove the supply roll and ribbon.
3. Press down on the exit cover tabs to open the exit cover on the front of the printer.
4. Spray the supply path and sensor with compressed air to remove dust and debris.
5. Use a cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol to clean the printhead, peel bar,
sensor, and platen roller when you see significant adhesive build-up or after clearing a
jammed label.
Note: Use a printhead CLEAN STRIP (120350) if the printhead is extremely dirty or you
see streaks on the supply.
