Maintenance

Cleaning the Print Head

Streaks or poor quality characters on printed 
labels generally indicates that the print head is 
dirty. Clean the print head using a cotton swab or 
the optional print head cleaning cassette 
(TZ-CL4).

Cleaning 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.

• Do not touch the print head directly with your 

bare hands.

• Refer to the instructions provided with the print 

head cleaning cassette for directions on how to 
use it.
