Cleaning the Printhead
Since the printhead must maintain close contact with the media to provide
good print quality, cleaning media debris from the printhead is very important.
Clean the printhead after every roll (or 6,000 inches) of media or whenever
necessary.
CAUTION
Caution
Do not use sharp objects such as knives or screwdrivers to scrape
the printhead clean. Cleaning with sharp objects will damage the
printhead. Clean with only a cotton swab, or a clean, lint-free cloth
or tissue moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
To clean the printhead
1. Remove the media cover.
2. Raise the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the
printhead releases.
