9. Periodical Cleaning

Printed characters may become partially unclear due to accumulated paper dust and dirt. To prevent such a problem, paper dust collected in the paper holder and paper transport section and on the surface of the thermal head must be removed periodically. Such cleaning is recommended to be carried out once six month or one million lines.

9-1. Cleaning the Thermal Head

To remove blackish dust collected on the surface of the thermal head, wipe it with Isopropyl alcohol (IPA).

Note: The thermal head is easy to damage, so clean it gently with a soft cloth. Take sufficient care not to scratch it when cleaning it.

9-2. Cleaning the Paper Holder

Use a soft cloth to remove paper dust from the paper holder and paper transport section.
