Maintaining the Printer

This section covers how you can maintain the printer in an optimal operating condition.

The printer may require periodic maintenance to keep the printer functional and printing high-quality

labels, receipts, tags, etc.

Cleaning Supplies

Use the recommended cleaning supplies to maintain printer function and prevent damage to the printer

from unapproved cleaning materials.

The following printer cleaning supplies are recommended for use with the printer:

• Printhead Cleaning Pens for simple operator printhead cleaning

• Isopropyl alcohol (minimum 99.7% pure).Use a labeledalcohol dispenser. Never re-moisten cleaning

materials used to clean the printer)

• Fiber-free Cleaning Swabs for media path, guides, and sensors.

• Cleaning Wipes for media path and interior (for example Kimberly-Clark Kimwipes).

• Can of Compressed Air.

IMPORTANT:

The cutter mechanism does not require maintenance cleaning. Do not clean the blade or

mechanism. The blade has a special coating to resist adhesives and wear.

Using too much alcohol can result in contamination of the electronic components requiring a

much longer drying time before the printer will function properly.

Do not use an air compressor in place of the can of compressed air. Air compressors have micro

contaminants and particles that get into the air compressor system and damage the printer.

CAUTION—EYE INJURY: Use eye protection to protect your eyes from particles and objects

when using compressed air.
