3-4 Servicing the print head
Recommended cleaning cycle: whenever the ribbon is changed
Servicing accessory: Special cotton bud impregnated with isopropyl alcohol.
The print head is cleaned in the course of the printer’s routine servicing procedure (see previously).However, to maintain the original
print quality and to absorb surplus ink on the print head, we recommend that you regularly clean the print head (whenever the ribbon
is changed) using the cotton buds supplied by MagTek. You must also protect the print head and its components from any discharge of
static electricity.
Unplug the printer from its power supply before cleaning the print head.
Follow the cleaning cycles scrupulously.
Avoid any contact between the print head and any metal or sharp objects.
Avoid touching the print head directly with your fingers,as this could affect print quality or permanently damage the print head.
