How to use

Power off the TSC printer and open the printhead access according to the printer manual.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible thermal transfer ribbons and recommended media types to maximize print head life. Clean the print head regularly with manufacturer-approved cleaning swabs or alcohol wipes to remove adhesive and residue. Avoid touching the print surface with bare hands to prevent oils from degrading print quality. Replace the print head when persistent streaks or missing dots appear after cleaning and calibration.
