6.3 Internal Cleaning
The overall internal cleaning of the printer is important to help reduce the dust and other
contaminates residing in the printer. Contaminates may attach to the print head or drive
roller and affect the printer’s performance. Refer to Figure 17 for common areas needing
cleaned.
1. Remove installed media.
2. Turn the printer power OFF.
3. Using the two Head Release Levers (See Figure 15), unlatch and raise the print
head.
4. Basic internal cleaning can be done using a combination of compressed air, soft-
bristle brushes, foam/cotton tipped swabs, and/or lint-free cloths dampened in
alcohol. Using any combination of these materials, remove dust or other
contaminants from the printer. See section 6.4 for the proper print head maintenance
procedure.
5. When finished, latch the print head completely and reinstall the media.
6. Turn the printer power ON
