IMPORTANT! Always turn the printer OFF before cleaning, performing
maintenance or loading supplies. Always wait at least 5 seconds before turning
the power back ON.
Basic cleaning of print head, cutter and platen roller will prolong the printer’s life
and help produce crisp, clear labels and signs. Refer to Section 2.1, Printer Parts, for
additional cleaning and maintenance information.
