Operating the printer

Cleaning the printer

To help ensure good printer performance and high-quality output, make sure the printer’s operating environment is clean and dust-free.

Clean the printer regularly as described below.

Before you begin: Turn the printer Off and unplug it.

•Clean the thermal head when you load a new ribbon or if you notice image quality problems.

•Wipe the printer cabinet, the paper tray area, and the output tray with distilled or deionized water and a damp, lint–free cloth. This eliminates dust buildup and prevents dirt from getting into the printer.

CAUTION: Never use abrasives or harsh chemicals to clean any part of the printer.

Do not use the alcohol cleaning pads packaged with new ribbon to clean the printer cabinet.

•Clean the area around and under the printer to keep dust out of the cooling fan.

•Vacuum the printer and the surrounding area to keep them dust free.
