Following a cleaning cycle, wait two minutes for the cleaner to evaporate completely
before using the printer again.
Although the cleaning alert might have been triggered, the printer will continue
to work.
It is also possible to trigger a cleaning sequence without waiting for the signal of the
light of the printer. This is carried out by pressing the push button of the Control
Panel for a few seconds.
In this case, first repeat all the operations described above.
Cleaning the print head
Cleaning cycle: on each ribbon change
Use: cleaning swabs
The print head is cleaned when the inside of the printer is also cleaned (see preceding section).
However, in order to preserve the original printing quality and to reduce the incidents caused by the
excessive presence of ink on the surface of the print head, it is advised to clean it regularly (on each
change of the ribbon) using the swabs supplied with the UltraClean cleaning kit.
It is very important to protect the print head and all other related components that are hand-
led from any electrostatic discharge.
The print head is a very fragile component of your printer. To void it being damaged:
■ Before cleaning the print head, disconnect the printer from the power supply.
■ Observe the cleaning cycles.
■ Never place the print head in contact with sharp or metal objects.
■ Avoid the surface of the print head coming into direct contact with fingers. The result could
be altered printing quality or even damage to the print head.
How to proceed
1. Take a new swab and press on the middle of the stick to
let the liquid out in the foam.
