Cleaning

Wipe off any foreign objects such as media dust, dirt and adhesive substances built up around the printhead and platen with the head cleaning pen (head cleaner) provided, and use a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol for the platen etc.

It is particularly important to clean the thermal printhead after printing on thermal media for long periods, which will guarantee the print quality and extend the life of the thermal printhead.

Note: Always use the head cleaner when cleaning the thermal printhead.
