Maintenance
Always remove the battery and disconnect the AC Adapter before cleaning the Labeling System.
Clean the Unit
- Wipe any dust and marks from the Labeling System using a soft, dry cloth.
- Use a slightly dampened cloth on difficult to remove marks.
Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other organic solvent. These may deform or damage the case of your Labeling System.
Clean the Print Head
Streaks or poor quality characters on printed labels generally indicate that the Print Head is dirty.
- Clean the Print Head using a cotton swab or the optional Print Head Cleaning Cassette (TZe-CL4).
- Do not touch the Print Head directly with your bare hands.
- Read and follow the instructions provided with the Print Head Cleaning Cassette.
Clean the Tape Cutter
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.
- About once a year, wipe the cutter blade using a cotton swab moistened with Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
- Do not touch the cutter blade directly with your bare hands.
- Use isopropyl alcohol according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
