Zebra ZC series cleaning options

 The Help & Support tab offers users several options to help with the printer, as well as the ability to initiate cleaning.

The Cleaning section in the Help and Support tab of the Advanced Settings utility has several additional setting to configure printer cleaning:

The Clean Printer Error Mode setting tells the printer to either Stop Printing when the cleaning notification occurs, or to Allow Printing (default). If the user sets the error mode to Stop Printing, cleaning must be done before any printing can continue. If the user sets the error mode to Allow Printing, printing can continue and cleaning can be done at a later time. The Cleaning Interval determines how many cards can be printed before cleaning is required; the recommended (and default) value is 1,000 cards, and the maximum cleaning interval is 5,000 cards. 

FYI• Zebra does not recommend continued printing past the default cleaning interval as dust and debris will collect on the print surfaces and result in poor print quality.
