9. Cleaning Your Toro
IMPORTANT! Always turn the power OFF and remove the battery before cleaning or
performing maintenance. Wait at least 5 seconds before turning ON the power. Basic
cleaning of the print head, cutter and platen roller will extend the life of the printer and
allow crisp, clear labels and signs with every printing.
Dust, residue, or adhesive on the print head can result in an unclear printout. Keep the
top cover closed when printing.
1. Turn the printer power OFF. Remove the battery, if one is being used.
2. Open the printer cover, raise the print head mechanism, and remove the ribbon and
label supply from the printer.
3. To open a cleaning swab, place the swab between your index finger and thumb.
Squeeze the swab until it snaps. Alcohol will be distributed to the cotton side of the
swab.
4. Run the swab back and forth several times across the front and underside of the
print head to remove any built-up adhesive, residue, or dust particles.
5. Run the wet swab between and around the gray adjustable label guides to clear any
dust or adhesive build-up.
6. Finally, run the wet swab across both sides of the cutter blade by gently inserting it
into the slot in the cutter module. Clean the blade from both sides. It may be easer
to reach if you flip the cutter module forward for this process.
