Cleaning

Thermal Print Head

Thermal paper stock and ribbons will release debris on the print head and

degrade printing quality. Clean the print head with methanol or isopropyl

alcohol with a cotton swab. Do not touch the heater element with your fingers.

Paper Sensor

Debris or dirt on the paper sensor will cause a mis-read or incorrect detection

of the label gap. Clean with a cotton swab dampened with alcohol.
