Fault Finding
In connection with service of the printer it is good practice to remove paper dust and lint from
the paper path, cutter and sensor areas. Paper dust, when accumulated, may interfere with
printer functions such as optical sensors.
To avoid smudging the paper, do not apply oil on the cutting knife.
