How to clean the print head?
Please note that the print head is a fragile component of the printer. It’s recommended to make cleaning cycle, if a poor-quality printing is noticed or after a period of inactivity.
Use the cleaning pen from the Evolis High Trust® brand.
The cleaning pen can be used up to 8 times for cleaning the print head.
Follow the procedure below:
◾ Remove the cover from the cleaning pen.
◾ Unplug the power supply, open the cover, and find the print head.
◾ Gently rub the pen from left to right along the print head as indicated for few seconds.
◾ Close the cover. Reconnect the printer.
◾ After cleaning, please wait 2 minutes before using the printer again.
It’s recommended to:
1. Unplug the printer from its power supply before cleaning the print head.
2. Follow the cleaning cycles scrupulously.
3. Avoid any contact between the print head and any metal or sharp objects.
4. Avoid touching the print head directly with the fingers, as this could affect print quality or permanently damage the print head.
Protect also the print head and its components from any discharge of static electricity.
Please refer to the user's guide or to the "How to clean the print head" delivered on the USB key with the printer.
