Maintenance IrDA Printer
Cleaning the Printer
External surfaces of the printer may be kept clean by simply wiping with
a damp cloth. Do not use any solvents that may attack the plastic case. Be
sure that the inside surfaces are kept dry at all times.
Cleaning the Print Head
To maintain a good print quality, it is recommended that the print head
be cleaned at least once a year or up to once a month if the printer is used
heavily. The print head should be cleaned immediately, however, if the
print becomes visibly fainter due to contamination of the print head.
Material Required:
• Isopropyl Alcohol
• Cotton swabs
Procedure:
1. Switch OFF printer.
CAUTION: Allow the print head to cool before cleaning,
otherwise damage to the print head may occur.
2. Open paper cover and remove paper roll.
3. Using a cotton swab dampened with alcohol, wipe the heating dots
of the print head. Be careful not to touch the heating dots with your
fingers.
4. Allow the alcohol to dry.
5. Reload the paper and close the paper cover.
