Cleaning
The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the
printer.
You may need to clean the printhead and platen roller:
♦
If there is any lint or debris build up in
the supply path
♦
Whenever you load new supplies
♦
Daily if your printer is in an
excessively dirty, hot, or humid
environment
♦
When you see voids in the print as
shown.
You may have to clean the supply sensor more often if you frequently receive supply
error codes.
Paxar recommends that you clean the printhead and platen roller at least once a day
when the printer is in use. You may need to clean more frequently depending on
usage.
To clean the printhead, supply sensor, and platen roller:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the cover and printhead assembly.
3. Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cleaning the printhead).
4. Clean the platen roller with a dry cloth or small brush. However, if there is adhesive
gum build-up on the platen roller, moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol.
Turn the platen roller with your finger and run the cotton swab or dry cloth across it.
Make sure the platen roller is clean all the way around.
