  • 1. Before starting, get ready an approved cleaning kit from your SATO dealer or the kit supplied with the printer. Make sure the printer is OFF, and remove the power cable.

    68
  • 2. Lift up the Top Cover and locate the Print Head Assembly which is mounted under the cover.

    68
  • 3. Apply Thermal Print Head Cleaner to a cotton swab.

    68
  • 4. The Print Head faces downward along the front edge of the assembly. Pass the end of the dampened swab along the entire width of the Print Head.

    68
  • 5. Check for any black coloring or adhesive on the swab after cleaning.

    68
  • 6. Repeat if necessary until the swab is clean after it is passed over the head.

    68
  • 7. The head should be cleaned at least every time the label roll is changed, and more often in harsh environments.

    68
  • 1. 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).

    68
  • 2. 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.

    68
  • 3. With the printer turned OFF, and the Top Cover closed, slowly pull the cleaning sheet outwards. Repeat the process until the print head is clean.

    • 2. Lift up the Top Cover.

      69
    • 3. The platen roller is the black rubber roller near the front panel. The print rollers are located at the print head assembly, near the fanfold-label loading window.

      69
    • 4. Wet some cotton swabs with cleaning solution. While rotating the platen roller with your fingers, clean the entire length of the roller using one or more cotton swabs. The roller should be cleaned of any label or adhesive residue.

      69
    • 5. Repeat the whole cleaning process if necessary. The platen and rollers should be cleaned whenever foreign matter such as dust or adhesive is present.

      69

      71
    • 4. Apply Thermal Print Head Cleaner to a cotton swab.

      71
