4.4 HOW TO CLEAN THE PRINTER (CLEANING SHEET)

The cleaning sheet is used for cleaning stubborn stains on the print head.

1.Lift up the front cover.

2.Unlatch the print head unit using the purple Head Lock lever. The print head is now accessi- ble.

3.Remove the label and ribbon.

4.Put the head cleaning sheet between the print head and the platen roller. The coarse side of the cleaning sheet should face the surface of the print head elements.

5.Fasten the Head Lock lever to mount the print head.

6.Using both hands, pull the cleaning sheet outwards, toward your body. This will remove any dirt stuck to the print head. (See picture on the right)

7.When the cleaning sheet has been removed, perform steps 2 to 6 to repeat the cleaning pro- cedure one or two more times.

8.When no more additional dirt appears on the cleaning sheet after it has been pulled out, you can stop cleaning with the sheet.

9.Unlatch the print head and use the cleaning cloth from the cleaning kit to gently remove any remaining dirt from the print head.

Caution

Be sure to turn off the power before cleaning.

The suggested cleaning schedule here are just guidelines. If necessary, clean as appropriate depending on the degree of contamination.

Use a cleaning pen (for the print head only) or cotton cloth to clean the printer units.

Use only soft, lint-free materials for cleaning. Avoid using hard objects for the cleaning process, as they will damage the components.
