Clean the Media Compartment
Remove any accumulated dirt and lint from the interior of the print engine using a soft bristle
brush and/or vacuum cleaner. This area should be inspected every time a new ribbon is loaded.
Clean the Printhead and Rollers
Clean the printhead, platen roller, pinch roller, and peel roller according to the schedule in
Table 12 on page 112. Clean the printhead more often if you see inconsistent print quality,
such as voids or light print. Clean the rollers if you see media movement problems.
To clean the printhead and rollers, complete these steps:
1. Turn Off (O) the print engine.
2.
3. Remove the media and ribbon from the print engine.
Caution • Observe proper electrostatic safety precautions when handling any
static-sensitive components such as circuit boards and printheads.
Caution • The printhead may be hot and could cause severe burns. Allow the
printhead to cool.
Rotate the printhead-release latch to the open position.
