6.4 Cleaning the thermal print head
Dirt on the print head or ribbon may result in inadequate print quality
(there are only partial images on the label). The printer cover should therefore be kept
closed when possible.
Keeping dirt and dust away from the paper or labels ensures a good print quality
and a longer lifespan of the print head. Here is how you clean the print head:
1. Switch off the printer.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Remove the ribbon.
4. Release the print head by turning the print head release lever.
5. To remove any label residue or other dirt from the print head
(see Red arrow), please use a soft lint-free cloth dipped in alcohol to wipe.
* The print head should be cleaned once a week.
**Please make sure that there are no metal fragments or other hard particles on the soft cloth used to clean
the print head.
