Cleaning your system
If you notice streaks or scratches in your labels, it may be time to clean
the print head.
You can purchase a cleaning kit, which includes:
z A plastic bottle (to contain Isopropyl alcohol, minimum 90% alcohol,
You must purchase the alcohol separately.)
z Two cotton-tip swabs
To clean the print head:
Step 1: Turn the printer power off.
Step 2: Remove the ribbon cartridge.
Step 1: Pour Isopropyl alcohol into the plastic squeeze bottle provided in the
cleaning kit.
Step 2: Apply the Isopropyl alcohol to one of the swabs.
Step 3: Clean the print head with the wet swab, using a swiping motion across
the print head. The print head is behind the ribbon cartridge,
identifiable by the green horizontal line. The area to clean is the upper
edge of the print head (above the green line).
Step 4: Repeat with a clean swab to ensure that the print head is clean.
Note: Only use a swab once per cleaning. To keep new swabs free of
dust, store them in the plastic bag provided. Replacement
cleaning kits are available.
If you have the Color & Cut system, you may occasionally want to clean
the cutter stylus as well. For instructions for cleaning the stylus and for
replacing it as well, see Appendix B: Cutter Maintenance.
