To clean the printhead and platen roller, complete these steps:
1. Open the printhead assembly.
2. Remove the media and ribbon.
3. Using the swab from the Preventive Maintenance Kit, wipe along the brown strip on the
printhead assembly from end to end. In place of the Preventive Maintenance Kit, you may
use a clean swab dipped in a solution of isopropyl alcohol (minimum 90%) and deionized
water (maximum 10%). Allow the solvent to evaporate.
Caution • The printhead may be hot and could cause severe burns. Allow the printhead
to cool.
Caution • Before touching the printhead assembly, discharge any built-up static electricity
by touching the metal printer frame or by using an antistatic wriststrap and mat.
