Cleaning Schedule and Procedures
Routine preventive maintenance is a crucial part of normal printer operation. By taking good
care of your printer, you can minimize the potential problems that you might have with it and
help to achieve and to maintain your standards for print quality.
Over time, the movement of media or ribbon across the printhead wears through the protective
ceramic coating, exposing and eventually damaging the print elements (dots). To avoid
abrasion:
Clean the printhead frequently.
Minimize printhead pressure and burn temperature (darkness) settings by optimizing the
balance between the two.
When using Thermal Transfer mode, ensure that the ribbon is as wide or wider than the
media to prevent exposing the printhead elements to the more abrasive label material.
Specific cleaning procedures are provided on the following pages. Table 11 shows the
recommended cleaning schedule. These intervals are intended as guidelines only. You may
have to clean more often, depending upon your application and media.
