Printhead 
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 ribbon and 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 
3
)
2
CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly 
fl ammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
Open the side door.
Turn the printhead lift lever clockwise to raise 
the printhead.
