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. Head roller 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.

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. Cutter blade Print head Cotton swab Metal section 45
