3. Remove the Ribbon Cartridge from the printer.
4. Using a Print head Cleaning Pen from the Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft, lint-
free cloth slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol, firmly wipe back and forth
across the surface of the Print head. If using a cloth, be extremely careful not to
use too much alcohol. It must not be allowed to drip into the printer!
5. Allow the Print head to thoroughly dry before re-installing the Ribbon
Cartridge.
6. Re-install the Ribbon Cartridge, and shut the cover. If a streak persists, Contact
PRIMERA Technical Support for further assistance (see Section 9 for Technical
Support information).
IMPORTANT! Never use a sharp tool or a metal object of any kind to clean the Print head. You
will damage the Print head!
C. CLEANING THE PRESS'S CASE
Your press has a durable casing that should retain its luster and appearance for
many years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild
soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind. Never spray the
cabinet with a cleaner. Rather, spray the cloth first and then wipe down the printer.
D. CLEANING THE INSIDE OF THE PRESS
As you use your press, dust and other particles will accumulate inside the printer's
case. These particles are attracted to the underside of the ribbon by static produced
during printing and can cause voids or colored spots on the printed image. Use the
following procedure to clean the inside of the printer periodically or as needed.
1. Open the printer's Top Cover by pressing the Cover Release Button.
2. Remove the Ribbon Cartridge from the printer.
3. Open the Cutter Door by pulling down on the door's handle.
4. If you have access to a very small vacuum cleaner (most computer stores sell
devices just for this purpose), use it to vacuum out all visible areas inside the
printer and cutter. Using such a vacuum works especially well when cleaning
paper dust from the cutter.
5. If you do not have access to a small vacuum, use a Cleaning Pad from the
Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth slightly moistened with isopropyl
alcohol to wipe out all visible areas inside the printer and cutter. Also,
thoroughly wipe off any dust which may be on the Ribbon Cartridge. Be
extremely careful not to let any alcohol drip inside the printer's case!
6. Re-install the Ribbon Cartridge, shut the Cutter Door, and shut the printer's Top
Cover.
