Cleaning the ZD411D Printhead
Clean the printer's printhead often to maximize print quality and printer life.
Always use a new cleaning pen on the printhead (an old pen carries contaminants from its previous use
that may damage the printhead).
CAUTION—HOT SURFACE: The printhead becomes hot while printing. To protect from
damaging the printhead and risk of personal injury, avoid touching the printhead. Only use the
cleaning pen to perform printhead maintenance.
CAUTION—ESD: The discharge of electrostatic energy that accumulates on the surface of
the human body or other surfaces can damage or destroy the printhead and other electronic
components used in this device. You must observe static-safe procedures when working with the
printhead or the electronic components under the top cover.
NOTE: When you load new media, you can also clean the printhead.
The printer is open for replacing the media roll or performing printer service.
