MAINTENANCE
Cameo printers will provide years of reliable service
provided a few simple guidelines are followed. The
printer should be cleaned approximately every two weeks
or more often, depending on usage and the type of media
being employed. Components of the printer that require
periodic maintenance are the print head, print roller
(platen), and the media sensor. When cleaning, please
use only isopropyl alcohol, the same type included in the
Cleaning Kit. Always use Zebra label or ticket stock for
maximum print quality and extended printer life.
Never use any sharp objects on printer mechanism as it
could damage the print head and platen. Use only the
supplied cleaning pen or a cotton swab saturated with
alcohol for cleaning. Always turn the printer off prior to
any cleaning operation.
Cleaning the print head
• Always turn the printer off prior to any cleaning
operation.
• Open the printer by squeezing the finger grips on
either side of the media compartment cover.
• Swing the media compartment cover open.
• Use the cleaning pen supplied with the printer and/
or alcohol and cotton swabs to clean the surface of
the print head, the platen, and the sensor.
Cleaning the platen (print roller)
Applies to printers configured for linered media only
• Open the printer by squeezing the finger grips on
either side of the media compartment cover and
swinging it open.
• Gently clean the platen with the cleaning pen
supplied with the printer and/or alcohol and a
cotton swab while rotating the platen.
