5.4.1.1 Cotton Swab Procedure
This procedure is for printers using direct thermal media, or thermal transfer media with a wax ribbon.
1. Perform the Preliminary Cleaning Steps, as described in Section 5.4.1.
2. Turn ‘Off’ and unplug the printer. Using a Cotton Swab moistened (not soaked) with isopropyl
alcohol, gently clean the entire Printhead surface, paying special attention to the Burn Line, until all
build-up is removed.

3. Allow the printhead to dry.
4. Reinstall media (and ribbon, if necessary). Lockdown the Head Lift Lever. If necessary, adjust the
Leveling Cam. Close the cover. Plug in and turn ‘On’ the printer. Run a few sample labels and
examine them. If streaking is still present, go to Section 5.4.1.2; otherwise, this completes the
procedure.
