2.1 Guidelines
To provide the best operating conditions and the safety of the operator follow these
guidelines:
• Make sure that the printer is set on a flat stable surface in an environment
that is free of dust.
• Make sure the work area is free of static.
• Turn the printer off and unplug it before servicing the machine.
• Store the ribbon and labels in a clean area.
• Clean the print head and other parts in the printer every time you change
labels.
• Be careful when cleaning the print head. There are sensitive electronics on
the head that should not be scratched.
• Use only denatured or hardware store grade alcohol. Standard rubbing alcohol
contains mostly water and should not be used.
