Maintenance

Your printer should be cleaned on a regular basis to maintain its performance.
Note
●
Always disconnect the AC adapter prior to cleaning the printer.
■ Cleaning the exterior of the printer
Wipe any dust and marks from the main unit
using a soft, dry cloth.
Use a slightly dampened cloth with water on
difficult to remove marks.
Note
●
Do not use paint thinner, benzene,
alcohol or any other organic solvent.
These may deform the case or damage
the appearance of your printer.
■ Cleaning the print head and head roller
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed
labels generally indicates that the print head and
head roller is dirty. Clean the print head using a
dry cotton swab, self-cleaning function or
optional print head cleaning cassette (TZ-CL6).
Note
●
Refer to the instructions provided with
the print head cleaning cassette for
directions on how to use it.
WARNING
Do not touch the print head directly with your
bare hands. The print head maybe hot.

■ Cleaning the tape cutter
About once every year, wipe the cutter
blades using a cotton swab moistened with
isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
Tape adhesive can build up on the cutter
blade after repeated use, taking the edge off
the blade which may result in the tape
jamming in the cutter.
CAUTION
Do not touch the cutter blade with your finger.
