Chapter 4 - Maintaining the Printer

Cleaning the Print Head

To maintain high print quality, clean the print head after 500 prints or whenever you detect broken or light characters on the page.

NOTE: Defective or wrinkled paper can also cause broken or light characters. If the problem does not go away after you clean the print head, try a different sheet of paper or a higher density setting.

1.Make sure the printer is powered on without paper loaded.

NOTE: If paper is loaded and detected by the printer when you attempt to initiate Cleaning Mode, a Form Feed will be executed instead.

2.Press the main switch for about two seconds. The “Data” LED will illuminate red.

3.Insert the black cleaning cloth that came with the printer into the printer’s paper input slot with the rough black side, which contains the cleaning material, towards the rear of the printer. See Figure 17.

The printer pulls the cleaning cloth through.
