11. DAILY MAINTENANCE
Please clean the printer periodically in order to ensure the continued high performance of the printer. Particularly if the Print Head, Platen, or Media Feed Section is dirty, clear printing and proper media feeding are not ensured. Use the following procedures to clean them.
・Turn the Power Switch off and unplug the Power Cord of the printer from the wall outlet before cleaning the printer or replacing parts. Failure to do this may cause an electric shock or injuries.
・Do not pour water on the printer or wipe it with a damp cloth.
If water enters the printer, this may cause a fire or electric shock.
・The print head becomes hot immediately after printing. Allow it to cool WARNING before performing any maintenance, or you may get burned.
・Do not open or close any covers other than specified in the manual. Some of the parts inside the printer have high voltage, and may cause an electric shock or injuries.
・Do not use any cleaners using thinner, benzene, or flammable gas to clean the printer. This may cause a fire.
[Supplemental Remarks]
・To maintain the printer performance and high quality printing for a long period of time, clean the inside of the printer every 300 m of the printing distance, which is equivalent to one roll of standard ribbon (that is approximately 300 m long) as a guide.
・Use the supplied cleaning cloth to clean the printer. Please contact your nearest authorised TOSHIBA TEC representative to place an order for the cleaning cloth.
・Eliminate static electricity from your body before accessing the inside of the printer. In addition, take off your ring, bracelet, or gloves, as this may damage the Print Head.
・Do not use any lubricants, as this may cause a printer failure.
・Do not use any chemical agents including thinner and benzene, as this may cause the discoloration or degradation of the printer. Also, do not use any solvents, detergents, or pesticides to clean the printer, as this may cause a printer failure.
