Notes on the print head

ACHTUNG: Print head wear
The print head is the most sensitive part of your printer. If used incorrectly, the print head
can be damaged very quickly.
Please observe the following notes:
Clean ACHTUNG: print head appropriately
– Do not use sharp objects (knives, screwdrivers, etc.) to clean the print head.
– Clean the print head with a cotton bud that has been soaked with alcohol.
– The print head has a red protective glass layer at the top. Do not touch this protective
layer with your hand.
ACHTUNG: Use the correct materials
During printing, always make sure that there is no dirt on the media as this could be pulled
underneath the print head, which could cause damage.
ACHTUNG: Open the print head if it is not to be used for a longer period of time
If the THERMOMARK X1.2 is not used for several days, the print head must be opened.
This increases the service life of the print head.
ACHTUNG: Use suitable ink ribbon
The ink ribbon must be at least 5 mm wider than the media. Direct contact between the
print head and the media can lead to increased wear on the print head.
