CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
The printer and print head should be cleaned every 5,000 labels, every two weeks, or between
label roll changes, whichever occurs first. A Microcom Corporation cleaning kit should be used
for cleaning and maintaining a Microcom Corporation printer product. It is important to note that
the optimum print head life is achieved by maintaining a clean printer and print head.
To clean the 412 printer:
1)
Turn the printer off.
2)
Lift the print head and remove any label stock.
3)
Use the cleaning brush to sweep away all small label and adhesive particles that may
be in the area of the print head.
4)
Moisten a cleaning swab with the cleaning solution and wipe away any adhesive from
the rollers or the peel bracket.
5)
Dampen a swab with cleaning solution and gently wipe the underside of the print head.
Repeat if necessary (if swab is extremely dirty).
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH THE PRINT HEAD WITH ANY METAL OR SHARP OBJECTS
