SATO ct4i User Manual

 

Cleaning the Print Head
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.

2. Lift up the Top Cover and locate the Print Head Assembly which 

is mounted under the cover. 

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

5. Check for any black coloring or adhesive on the swab after cleaning.
6. Repeat if necessary until the swab is clean after it is passed over the head.
7. The head should be cleaned at least every time the label roll is changed, and more often in harsh 

environments.

Clearning Stubborn Debris on the Print Head
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).

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.

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.
