The print head is cleaned at the time the inside of the printer is cleaned (see above).
However, in order to preserve the original printing quality and to reduce the incidents created by the
presence of surplus ink on the surface of the print head, it is recommended that the print head be clea-
ned regularly (at each ribbon change) using the cotton swabs supplied with the UltraClean cleaning kit.
It is very important to protect the print head and any other related component handled
against any electrostatic discharge.
The print head is a fragile component of your printer. To prevent any damage to it:
■
Before cleaning the print head, disconnect the printer from its power supply.
■
Comply with the cleaning cycles.
■
Never put the print head into contact with pointed and or metal objects.
■
Avoid direct contact between the surface of the print head and the fingers. This could result in
an altered print quality, or even permanent damage to the print head.
3. Clean the roller with a
cleaning cloth from your
cleaning kit. Eliminate all
dust by rubbing the cloth
lightly over the entire
surface of the roller.
4. When it is dry, replace the roller into the printer, making
sure it is properly positioned.
5. Put the ribbon back in its place, lower and close the cover.
6. The printer is again available for use.
After a cleaning cycle, wait 2 minutes for the cleaning fluid to evaporate completely
before using the printer
