Maintenance
Cleaning the Print Head
To ensure optimal print quality, regularly clean the print head. Power off the device before cleaning. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the print head. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the print head.
Storage
Store the label maker and label rolls in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps to preserve the life of the device and the quality of the label materials.
Troubleshooting
- No Power: Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect the USB Type-C cable and check if the charging indicator light is active.
- Poor Print Quality: Verify that the label roll is correctly installed and the label material is suitable for thermal transfer printing. Clean the print head as described in the Maintenance section.
- Label Jam: Power off the device. Open the label compartment and carefully remove any jammed label material. Ensure the label roll is inserted correctly and is not creased or damaged.
- Difficulty Peeling Labels: Many SUPVAN labels feature a split-back design for easier peeling. Ensure the label is fully cut. If difficulty persists, try peeling from a corner or using a sharp, non-metallic tool to lift the edge.
