5-1. Cleaning the print head

Dirt on the print head or ribbon, or

glue residue from the label stock

may result in inadequate print

quality. The printer cover must

therefore always be closed during

printing. 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. Remove the ribbon.

4. Press the release catches to

open the print mechanism.

5. 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.

Note 3

You can also use the cleaning card

supplied with the printer to clean the

print head.

5-2. Adjusting the print head pressure

When printing on special media

(with varying material thickness), the

print quality may suffer. You will then

need to adjust the print head

pressure.

1. Open the printer cover.

2. Remove the ribbon.

3. Use a screw driver and slowly

turn the adjustment screws for

the print head to increase or

reduce the print head pressure.
