Before you replace a paper roll with a new 
one
Before loading a new paper roll after you have used up 
one paper roll, perform the following cleaning 
operation.
Note
Since the thermal head is still very hot just after printing 
is finished, be careful not to touch the thermal head 
when cleaning. Touching the thermal head may burn 
you.
To clean the thermal head:
Clean the thermal head heating elements, ribbon guide, 
and the cleaning roller for the ink ribbon gently with a 
soft cloth.
Note
If you intend to use the printer just after you have 
cleaned it, be sure to use it only after it has dried 
completely.
To clean the platen roller, pinch roller, and 
cleaning roller used for removing dust 
accumulated on the paper:
Clean the rollers gently with a soft cloth moistened with 
alcohol.
To clean the paper feed roller:
Clean the roller gently with a soft cloth moistened with 
alcohol while turning the pinch roller.
