6-1 Cleaning Head
1) Open the paper cover and Ribbon Assembly and then use the cleaning pen to clean the
head in the direction from the center of the head to the edges.
2) After cleaning the head, do not use the printer until the alcohol used for cleaning
evaporates completely (1~2 min) and the printer has completely dried.
※ Perform the cleaning process each time the paper roll is replaced to prevent print
quality deterioration.
