PRINT HEAD & ROLLERS
Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machine’s print head and
rollers. This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very
dusty environment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a blank horizon-
tal streak may appear through the label text. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the
machine’s head may need to be cleaned from time to time.
To clean the print head and rollers:
1 Turn off the machine.
2 Remove the back cover, and then remove the tape cassette if one is installed. The
print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment.
3 Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-and-
down motion.
Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion
while rotating them with your finger.
4 Install a tape cassette, attach the back cover, and then try printing again.
5 If dust still remains, repeat steps 2 through 4 using a cotton swab dipped in iso-
propyl (rubbing) alcohol.
If none of the above works, contact your service representative.

The print head can be cleaned more easily with the optional print head clean-
ing cassette TZ-CL4 (3/4” (18 mm)).
