CAUTION: The printhead is sensitive to static electricity, which can damage the printhead or reduce its life.

CAUTION: Do not use sharp objects to clean the printhead or touch the printhead with your fingers. This may damage the printer and require a service charge.

The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the printer.

Note: You must clean the printhead as described below to maintain printhead life.

You may need to clean the printhead, sensor, and platen roller if there is any adhesive build-up in the supply path, after printing approximately 3 rolls of thermal transfer/thermal direct supplies or after each ribbon, daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid environment, or when you see voids or streaking in the print.

When you are using higher speeds (with 203 or 300 dpi), and/or increased print contrast, we recommend cleaning the printhead after each ribbon with isopropyl alcohol. If you still notice build-up on the printhead or black streaks on your supply, order a printhead CLEAN-STRIP.

Turn off the printer and open the cover and printhead assembly.

Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cleaning the printhead).

Press down on the exit cover tabs to open the exit cover on the front of the printer.

Clean the platen roller when you see significant adhesive build-up or a label is wrapped around the platen roller. Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean the standard (black) platen roller.
