Keep it clean

Dirt on the print head causes white streaks and jams.

  1. Unplug the printer first

    Always disconnect the power before cleaning. Brother recommends an anti-static (ESD) mat or anti-static gloves.

  2. Wipe the print head

    Use a lint-free cloth or cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Do this regularly.

  3. Wipe the roller and the label exit

    Use a lint-free cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Make sure no fluff is left on the roller.
