Maintaining the Printer
1. Rub the cleaning pen across the dark area of the printhead. Clean from the middle to the outside. This
will move adhesive transferred from the outer edges of media to the area outside of the media path. Do
not use the cleaning pen on the platen roller.
2. Wait one minute before closing the printer.
Media Path Cleaning
Use a cleaning swab and/or a lint-free cloth to remove debris, dust, or crust that has built up on the
holders, guides, and media path surfaces.
Lightly moisten the swab or cloth withisopropyl alcohol (minimum 99.7% pure). For hard-to-clean
areas, use extra alcohol on a cleaning swab to soak the debris to break up any adhesive that may have
accumulated on surfaces in the media compartment.
Do not clean the printhead, sensors, or platen as part of this process.
1. Wipe the inside surfaces of the roll holders and the underside of the media guides with cleaning swabs
and wipes.
2. Wipe the movable sensor slide channel (but not the sensor). Move the sensor to get to all areas.
