Cleaning Procedures

1. Open the printhead assembly.

2. Remove the media and ribbon.

3. Using the Preventive Maintenance Kit (Zebra part number 47362) or a solution of 

90% Isopropyl and 10% deionized water and swab, wipe along the print elements 
from end to end. The print elements are on the brown strip just behind the chrome 
strip on the printhead. Allow sufficient time for the solvent to evaporate.

4. Manually rotate the platen roller and clean thoroughly with solvent and a pad.

5. Brush or vacuum any accumulated paper lint and dust away from the media and 

ribbon paths.

6. Reload media or ribbon, and close the printhead assembly.

Note • The printer can remain on while you are cleaning the printhead. In this way 
all label formats, images, and all temporary parameter settings stored in the printer's 
internal memory are saved. In addition, keep the peel engaged while cleaning the 
platen roller (media must be unloaded to do this) to reduce the risk of bending the 
tear-off/peel-off bar.

Caution • Ensure printhead is fully open and engaged in the up position. Failure 
to latch in the up position could result in the printhead falling on your hand 
during the procedure.

Note • If print quality has not improved after performing this procedure, try 
cleaning the printhead with Save-A-Printhead cleaning film. This specially coated 
material removes contamination buildup without damaging the printhead. Call your 
authorized Zebra reseller for more information.
