Cleaning the Printer

Cleaning Inside the Top Cover

Clean inside the Top Cover about once a month to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems. Also clean inside the Top Cover in the following situations to ensure optimal operation.

If the printed surface or the underside of paper is dirty after printing

After you have used up a roll

After borderless printing

After printing on small paper

After printing on paper that generates a lot of cutting debris

If you have replaced the roll

After printing on paper that generates a lot of paper dust

Important

If the Platen inside the Top Cover becomes dirty, it may soil the underside of paper. We recommend always cleaning the Platen after borderless printing or printing on small paper.

If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend cleaning the Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.
