5.4.1.2 Cleaning Card Procedure
This procedure is for printers using direct thermal media, or thermal transfer media with a wax ribbon.
Also use this procedure if symptoms continue after the Cotton Swab Procedure (see Section 5.4.1.1) has
been tried.
1. Perform the Preliminary Cleaning Steps, as described in Section 5.4.1.
2. Place a Cleaning Card under the printhead. (Use part number 70-2013-01 for 4-inch model printers
and 70-2014-01 for 6-inch model printers.)
3. Lockdown the Head Lift Lever and disengage the Leveling Cam; see Section 5.2.1.

Key for approximately four seconds. (As an
alternate, ‘

5. After the cleaning card has been run through the printer, reinstall media (and ribbon, if necessary).
Lockdown the Head Lift Lever. If necessary, adjust the Leveling Cam. Close the cover. Run a few
sample labels and examine them. If streaking is still present, go to Section 5.4.1.3; otherwise, this
completes the procedure.
