Cleaning the Printhead

Impurities such as lint and color particles from

the thermotransfer foil may collect on the print-

head during printing. This can lead to a notice-

shown by:

• Differing contrast on the labels

• Light stripes in the printing direction

¯ Clean printhead regularly to ensure optimal

print head condition.

Cleaning intervals

• Thermal transfer printing: after each used

up ribbon roll

• Direct thermal printing: after each used up

label roll

Preparation

1. Switch off the printer.

2. Open the printhead pressure lever. The

printhead folds upwards.

3. Remove material and foil from the printer.

edge [2B] a few times with the cleaning pen

[2A].

WARNING!
