Cleaning the Media Path – Lower Half of ZD421/ZD621 Printers

The lower half of all printer models covered in this guide get cleaned the same way, as described in this procedure.

  1. Wipe the inside surfaces of the roll holders and the underside of the media guides with either wipes or cleaning swabs lightly moistened with 99.7% pure isopropyl alcohol. Use extra alcohol if necessary to soak accumulated debris for removal.
  2. Wipe the inside surfaces of the roll holders and the underside of the media guides with a swab.

    Use a clean swab for each cleaning. Discard all used cleaning swabs.
