11 - How to Clean Printhead

Make sure the printer is turned off, then open the cover by pressing the green Media Cover Release Button.

Identify the Printhead as shown in Image 2.

Uncap the cleaning pen and use the tip to clean the glass surface of the print head, ensuring there is no label or ribbon residue, or dust or other particulate.

You should do this each time you go through a roll of labels to ensure optimal print quality and performance. Doing so regularly can extend the lifespan of your printer by 2 to 3 times.
