When it may not be suitable

How to use

Turn off the printer and allow the printhead to cool completely before starting the cleaning process. Open the printer cover and locate the thermal printhead element.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your printer model belongs to the Citizen CL-S or CLP series to ensure correct compatibility
• Assess your printing volume to determine if a 10-pack provides an adequate supply for your maintenance schedule
• Check that your maintenance routine aligns with the recommendation to clean the printhead with every media roll change

For best results and to maximize the lifespan of your equipment, it is highly recommended to clean the thermal printhead with a new pen every time you change the media roll.
