The head should be cleaned at least every time the label roll is changed, and more often in harsh environments.681. If certain stains on the print head cannot be removed easily with cotton swabs dabbed in cleaning solution, obtain cleaning sheets designed for cleaning print heads (for such supplies, contact your SATO dealer).682. Load the cleaning sheet with the rough side facing the print head. Follow any other instructions or precautions printed on any leaflet that may accompany the cleaning sheet.683.
