When the color ribbon is depleted (after approximately 36 sheets), replace it with a new one. Refer to the printer's indicator lights or the Smart Plotter app for notifications regarding ribbon status.

The DHP511 uses thermal dye sublimation technology, which is known for simpler maintenance compared to inkjet printers. Regularly wipe the exterior of the printer with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
