THERMAL HEAD CLEANING
Press the OPEN button to open the printing unit.
Take the ribbon cassette out of the printer.
Preparations
Alcohol (ethyl alcohol, etc.)
Soft and clean cloth
When lines appear on the printed images, clean the thermal head.
Wipe the head cleaning part carefully with cloth dampened with a small amount of
alcohol.
NOTE
• Do not damage the thermal head.
• When the poor print quality is not corrected even if the head has been cleaned,
replacement of the thermal head may be required. Contact your dealer.
CAUTION
Thermal head is hot right after printing. Wait until the head cools before
cleaning the thermal head.
NOTE
The thermal head may be damaged if you touch it while static electricity builds
up on your body.
NOTE
When you clean the thermal head, make sure not to apply excessive force to the
peeling roller on the bottom of the thermal head. When the excessive force is
applied to the roller, the roller may be deformed, resulting in deterioration of the
printing quality.
Cleaning as indicated below will help maintain stable printer operation and extend the printer’s life.
Wearing gloves at cleaning is recommended to prevent injury.
Make sure to turn off the power before cleaning.
