6. Maintenance and adjustment

6-1. Cleaning the print head

Dirt on the print head or ribbon, or glue

residue from the label liner may result

in inadequate print quality. The printer

cover must therefore always be

closed. Keeping dirt and dust away

from the paper or labels ensures a

good print quality and a longer

lifespan of the print head. Here is how

you clean the print head:

1. Switch off the printer.

2. Open the printer cover.

3. To remove any label residue or

other dirt from the print head (see

blue arrow), please use a soft

lint-free cloth dipped in alcohol.

Note 1

The print head should be cleaned

once a week.

Note 2

Please make sure that there are no

metal fragments or other hard

particles on the soft cloth used to

clean the print head.

6-2. Adjusting the cutter

While using the cutter, paper jams may

occur.

You can solve this problem by adjusting

the cutter.

1. Turn the printer upside down. A

screw is located on the bottom of

the cutter housing.

2. Unscrew the screw and remove the

housing.

3. The adjustment screw is located on

the side of the cutter. Use a

screwdriver and turn the screw

anticlockwise to loosen the cutter

blade and pull out the jammed

label.

4. When you have cleared the jam,

turn the screw clockwise to secure

the cutter blade again.
