The printer does not require any routine maintenance. However, reasonable care of the printer will
extend its life. The following precautions and periodic measures are recommended:
■Cleaning the unit is the most important operation the user can perform.
The frequency of cleaning is dependent upon the environment.
—Turn the power OFF.
—Clean the case and covers with a soft cloth. Use any mild commercial cleaner on the cloth, do not
spray directly on the printer.
— Remove the top and the smoked plastic covers. Vacuum or dust the inside area of the unit. Be
very careful not to damage the printhead ribbon cable and the carriage drive belt.
—The platen should be cleaned with denatured alcohol only.
—The carriage guide bar can be lubricated with a very light oil. Contact your Authorized Panasonic
Service Center for advice on lubrication.
Ribbon Cassette
A single ribbon permits the printing of approximately 3 million total draft characters. When the printing
starts to fade, gently push the counter spring in the ribbon cassette hole with the tip of a ballpoint pen
or other object. Once the ribbon cassette is mounted onto the carriage and printing is
performed for a short time, the characters will become darker.
Note:
• Do not re-ink the ribbon before printing starts to fade. If the ribbon has too much ink, the
characters may smear when printed.
•Wear and tear of the printhead pins may cause serious damage to the ribbon and cause the
printing to fade. In such cases the printer needs servicing.
