8 Printing Operation
!
Attention!
Printhead damage caused by improper handling!
 Do not touch the underside of the printhead with the ngers or sharp objects.
 Ensure that the labels are clean.
 Ensure that the label surfaces are smooth. Rough labels act like emery paper and reduce the service life
of the printhead.
 Print with the lowest possible printhead temperature.
