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

Media 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.
