Routine Maintenance
Cleaning Schedule and Procedures
Clean the Media Compartment
After every four rolls of media, inspect the media compartment. Use a soft bristle brush or a
vacuum cleaner to remove any dirt and lint from the interior of the printer.
Clean the Printhead and Platen Roller
If print quality does not improve after you perform this procedure, clean the printhead with
Save-a-Printhead cleaning film. This specially coated material removes contamination
buildup without damaging the printhead. Call your authorized Zebra reseller or distributor for
more information.
Cleaning intervals are as follows, based on the printhead resolution:
For 203 and 300 dpi printers Clean the printhead after every roll (1500 feet or 450 m) of
thermal transfer ribbon or after every roll (500 feet or 150 m) of direct thermal labels or when
CLEAN HEAD NOW appears on the LCD. Clean the printhead more often if you see
inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics.
For 600 dpi printers Clean the printhead after each roll (500 feet or 150 m) of labels or
when CLEAN HEAD NOW appears on the LCD. Clean the printhead more often if you see
inconsistent print quality, such as voids in the bar code or graphics.
If power is removed from a 600 dpi printer when cleaning the printhead, the
CLEAN HEAD NOW warning shown on the LCD will not disappear.
