Perform these procedures at the following times:

• Thermal Transfer Print Mode: After every roll (1500 ft or 450 m) of ribbon.

If print quality does not improve after you perform this procedure, clean the printhead with Save-a-Printhead cleaning film. This specially coated material removes contamination buildup without damaging the printhead. Call your authorized Zebra reseller or distributor for more information.

Cleaning intervals are as follows, based on the printhead resolution:

For 203 and 300 dpi printers Clean the printhead after every roll (1500 feet or 450 m) of thermal transfer ribbon or after every roll (500 feet or 150 m) of direct thermal labels or when CLEAN HEAD NOW appears on the LCD. Clean the printhead more often if you see inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics.

For 600 dpi printers Clean the printhead after each roll (500 feet or 150 m) of labels or when CLEAN HEAD NOW appears on the LCD. Clean the printhead more often if you see inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics.
