6.2 Cleaning the Print Head, Platen and Rollers
Cleaning the Print Head using Print Head Cleaner
Step 1 Switch OFF the power to the printer.
Step 2 Open the label access door.
Step 3 Open the print head assembly by turning the head
latch toward the rear of the printer. The print head
assembly is spring-loaded and will automatically
open as soon as the head latch is disengaged.
Step 4 Apply any SATO approved thermal print head
cleaner to a cotton swab.
Step 5 The print head faces downward along the front edge
of the assembly. Pass the end of the dampened
swab along the entire width of the print head. (You
may need to move the ribbon out of the way to do
this.)
Step 6 Check for any black colouring or adhesive on the
swab after cleaning.
Step 7 Repeat as necessary until the swab stays relatively
clean, after being passed over the head.
Step 8 The head should be cleaned at least every time the
ribbon is changed and more often in dusty environ-
ments.
