The long cleaning card will automatically feed into the printer and the printing process 
will continue. The LCD Panel will again display the message CLEANING PRINTER.

When the cleaning process is completed, the long cleaning card will be ejected and the 
LCD Panel will display the message READY, indicating that the printer is ready to resume 
normal printing operations.

Discard both cleaning cards after a single use.

A cleaning using the Cleaning Cards usually suffices. However, a separate Print Head cleaning 
can remove more stubborn deposits when print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use 
foam-tipped swabs.

Place the printer power switch in the OFF ( O ) position.

Open the Main Cover, release the Print Head Carriage, and remove the ribbon. Leave the 
Print Head Carriage in its raised position. (For details, see Chapter 2.)

Clean Print Head by moving an alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across the Print 
Head elements. Only use moderate force. To re-order swabs, please refer to the Media List 
on the Windows Drivers and User Documentation CD supplied with this printer.

The swabs can also be used in a similar manner to clean the optional magnetic encoding 
head.

Do not use previously used cleaning cards.

Caution • Never use a sharp object or any abrasive to scrape deposits from the print 
head. Permanent damage to the print head will result.

Caution • Do not touch the print head if the printer has been in service in the last 10 
minutes. It could be very hot and cause a burn.
