Cleaning Your DuraLabel Bronco

Overview

Periodic cleaning of the print head, cutter blade, and platen roller will prolong your Bronco’s life and allow clear print quality on every label. This cleaning process is simple and can be performed by any user. Use cleaning swabs provided by Graphic Products or a soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol to clean the system properly.

We recommend that you clean the Bronco when you change supplies, as this may be the most convenient time. Cleaning will take less than five minutes.

How to Clean Your Bronco

1. Before cleaning your Bronco, turn it off using the power switch in the back of the printer, near the black power cord.
2. Open Bronco’s lid and raise the print head carriage, as you would if you were loading supplies.
3. Temporarily remove the ribbon take-up core and any loose ribbon from the print head carriage so that the metal print head on the underside of the carriage is exposed.
4. Using the cleaning swab or soft cloth and isopropyl alcohol, gently wipe the entire print head clean.
5. Temporarily roll back any label stock so that the rubber roller is exposed. Wipe the exposed part of the roller.
6. Wipe the cutter blades by carefully inserting the cleaning swab from the front of the cutter module and wiping from side to side.
7. Allow all parts to dry for a minute or so. Then, reload your supplies, close your Bronco again, and return to printing.
