Preventative Maintenance
Zebra recommends cleaning the printer on a regular basis using standard Zebra printer parts and cleaning
supplies. Consult your “User’s Guide” for further details.
• Cleaning—The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth, and if necessary, a mild detergent solution or
desktop cleaner. Interior components (printhead, platen roller, media sensor, peel bar, ribbon and media
paths) are cleaned with alcohol or blown air to remove any particles.
• Lubrication—All mechanical parts are self-lubricating and do not require additional lubrication.
• Print Registration—Media registration and minimum label length are affected by media type and width,
ribbon type and print speed. Performance improves as these factors are optimized. Zebra recommends
always qualifying any application with thorough testing.
• Printhead Replacement—For optimal printing quality and proper printer performance across our product
line, Zebra strongly recommends the use of genuine Zebra supplies as part of the total solution. Printers
are designed to work only with genuine Zebra printheads, thus maximizing safety and print quality.
