Maintenance
Your printer should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance.
■ Cleaning the exterior of the printer
Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit
using a soft, dry cloth.
Use a slightly dampened cloth with water on
difficult to remove marks.
■ Cleaning the print head and head
roller
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed
labels generally indicates that the print head
and head roller are dirty. Clean the print
head using a dry cotton swab, self-cleaning
function or optional print head cleaning
cassette (TZ-CL6).
Refer to the instructions provided with the
print head cleaning cassette for directions on
how to use it.
Self-cleaning function
Remove the tape cassette, and then
press the Feed/Cut button.

■ Cleaning the tape cutter
About once every year, wipe the cutter
blades using a cotton swab moistened with
isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
Tape adhesive can build up on the cutter
blade after repeated use, taking the edge
off the blade which may result in the tape
jamming in the cutter.
Note
● Always disconnect the AC adapter prior to cleaning the printer.
Note
● Do not use paint thinner, benzene,
alcohol or any other organic solvent.
These may deform the case or damage
the appearance of your printer.
WARNING
Do not touch the print head directly with your
bare hands. The print head may be hot.
