Cleaning the Print Head
980459-001 Rev C Prelim 1 P330i User’s Manual 31
8. The long cleaning card will automatically feed into the printer and the printing process
will continue. The LCD Panel will again display the message CLEANING PRINTER.
9. When the cleaning process is completed, the long cleaning card will be ejected and the
LCD Panel will display the message READY, indicating that the printer is ready to resume
normal printing operations.
10. Discard both cleaning cards after a single use.
Cleaning the Print Head
A cleaning using the Cleaning Cards usually suffices. However, a separate Print Head cleaning
can remove more stubborn deposits when print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use
foam-tipped swabs.
1. Place the printer power switch in the OFF ( O ) position.
2. Open the Main Cover, release the Print Head Carriage, and remove the ribbon. Leave the
Print Head Carriage in its raised position. (For details, see Chapter 2.)
3. Clean Print Head by moving an alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across the Print
Head elements. Only use moderate force. To re-order swabs, please refer to the Media List
on the Windows Drivers and User Documentation CD supplied with this printer.
4. The swabs can also be used in a similar manner to clean the optional magnetic encoding
head.
Note • Do not use previously used cleaning cards.
Caution • Never use a sharp object or any abrasive to scrape deposits from the print
head. Permanent damage to the print head will result.
Caution • Do not touch the print head if the printer has been in service in the last 10
minutes. It could be very hot and cause a burn.
