Cleaning
Your Zebra printer may require periodic maintenance to keep your printer functional and printing high
quality labels, receipts, tags, etc.
Cleaning Supplies
The following printer cleaning supplies are recommended for use with your printer:
•
Printhead Cleaning Pens for simple operator printhead cleaning
•
90% min. pure Isopropyl Alcohol (10% water max.) (Use a labeled alcohol dispenser. Never
re-moisten cleaning materials used to clean the printer).
•
Fiber-free Cleaning Swabs for media path, guides, and sensors and Cleaning Wipes for
media path and interior (for example Kimberly-Clark Kimwipes).
• Can of Compressed Air.
Important • The cutter mechanism does not require maintenance cleaning. DO NOT clean the blade or mechanism.
The blade has a special coating to resist adhesives and wear.
Important • Using too much alcohol can result in contamination of the electronic components requiring a much
longer drying time before the printer will function properly.
Important • Do Not Use an air compressor in place of the can of compressed air. Air compressors have micro
contaminants and particles the get into the air system and damage your printer.
Eye Injury Caution • Use eye protection to protect your eyes from flying particles and objects when using compressed
air.
