4 • 2 Cleaning the Print Head

A cleaning using the cleaning system with cards usually suffices. However, a separate Print head cleaning using swabs can remove more stubborn deposits when print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.

1 • Switch power Off, open cover, raise Print Head and remove the Ribbon.

2 • Clean Print Head by moving alcohol-moistened swab tip side-to-side across Print Head elements. Only use moderate force.

Make sure the elements are dry before switching on. (To reorder swabs see Appendix C).

Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from the print head. Permanent damage will result.
