Cleaning
Cleaning the printhead on a regular basis is important for the life
of the printhead and for the printout quality. You should clean the
printhead each time you replace the media. This section describes
how to clean the printhead using cleaning cards. If additional
cleaning is required, for example removing adhesive residue from
the platen roller or tear bar, use a cotton swab moistened with
isopropyl alcohol.
Warning!
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH
