Cleaning Procedures

The exterior surfaces of the printer may be cleaned with a lint-free cloth. Do not use 
harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents. If necessary, a mild detergent or desktop 
cleaner may be used sparingly.

Remove any accumulated dirt and lint from the interior of the printer using a soft 
bristle brush or vacuum cleaner.

You can minimize printhead wear and maintain print quality with regular preventive 
measures.

Over time, the movement of media/ribbon across the printhead wears through the 
protective ceramic coating, exposing and eventually damaging the print elements 
(dots). In order to avoid abrasion:

• Clean your printhead frequently and use well-lubricated thermal transfer ribbons 

with packagings optimized to reduce friction.

• Minimize printhead pressure and burn temperature settings by optimizing the 

balance between the two.

• Ensure that the thermal transfer ribbon is as wide or wider than the label media to 

prevent exposing the elements to the more abrasive label material.

For best results, perform the following cleaning procedure after changing every roll of 
ribbon. Inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics, may 
indicate a dirty printhead.
