Cleaning the Printhead
The Printhead is the mechanism that enables the ink to impact the label. Due to the Printheads precision construction
and necessary location in the printer, it comes into contact with consumables and therefore is susceptible to dirt
accumulation. If dirt is not removed, the Printhead may be damaged. To ensure longevity of the Printhead, follow the
recommended maintenance guidelines below:
Note: A Printhead damaged by misuse is not covered under warranty.
