10.3 Internal Cleaning
The overall internal cleaning of the printer is important to help reduce the dust and other
contaminates residing in the printer that may attach to the print head or drive roller and
affect the printer’s performance. Refer to Figure 10-3 for common areas needing cleaning.
1. Remove any installed media.
2. Turn the printer power “OFF.”
3. Release print assembly latches and lift to access the inside of the printer.
4. Internal cleaning can be done using a combination of compressed air, vacuum with
anti-static protection, soft-bristle brushes, foam/cotton tipped swabs, and/or lint-free
cloths dampened in isopropyl alcohol. Use any combination of these materials to
remove dust or other contaminants from the printer.
5. Reinstall media and run labels to check print quality.
