Clean the outside surfaces of the printer with a lint-free cloth. Use a mild detergent solution or 
desktop cleaner sparingly, as needed.

After every four rolls of media, inspect the media compartment. Use a soft bristle brush or a 
vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt and lint from the interior of the printer.

Cleaning intervals are as follows, based on the printhead resolution:

For 300 dpi printers  Clean the printhead after every roll (1500 feet or 450 m) of thermal 
transfer ribbon or after every roll (500 feet or 150 m) of direct thermal labels or when 

CLEAN 

HEAD NOW

 appears on the LCD. Clean the printhead more often if you see inconsistent print 

quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics.

For 600 dpi printers   Clean the printhead after each roll (500 feet or 150 m) of labels or 
when 

CLEAN HEAD NOW

 appears on the LCD. Clean the printhead more often if you see 

inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics.

Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents or solvents.

 You do not need to turn off the printer before cleaning the printhead. If power is 

turned off, all label formats and images, as well as any temporarily saved parameter settings 
stored in the printer’s internal memory, are lost. When power is turned back on, these items 
must be reloaded.

If power is removed from a 600 dpi printer when cleaning the printhead, the

 

CLEAN HEAD NOW

 warning shown on the LCD will not disappear.

If print quality does not improve after you perform this procedure, clean the printhead with 
Save-a-Printhead cleaning film. This specially coated material removes contamination 
buildup without damaging the printhead. Call an authorized Brady distributor for more 
information.
