extend its life. The following periodic measures are recommended;
• Cleaning the unit is the most important action 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 to the printer.
— Open the top cover and remove the smoked plastic cover. Vacuum or dust the inside area of the
unit. Be very carefui not to damage the printhead ribbon cable or the carriage drive belt.
Caution: The printhead may be hot, use caution when cover is open.
— 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.
