PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

Zebra recommends cleaning the printer on a
regular basis using standard Zebra cleaning
supplies. Refer to the User’s Guide for more
details.

CLEANING

The exterior is cleaned with a lint-free cloth, and
if necessary, a mild detergent solution or desktop
cleaner can be used. Interior components
(printhead, platen, media path, and dispenser bar)
are cleaned with alcohol or blown air.

For healthcare models refer to Zebra Guide to
Disinfecting and Cleaning for a full list of Zebra
approved cleaning agents.

MEDIA REGISTRATION

TMedia registration and minimum label length are
affected by media type, width and print speed.
Performance improves as these factors are
optimized. Zebra recommends always qualifying
any application with prior testing.
