Care and Maintenance

When paper is jammed inside the printer, remove the paper with tweezers etc. Clean dirt and paper powder from the paper feed roller and the printing head with a cotton applicator. If you conscientiously take care of it, you will be able to use it with ease.

•When taking care of it, be careful not to touch the cutter teeth. You may be injured.

•Never bring any hard object in contact with the head. This may result in damage to the unit.

•The print head becomes very hot. Allow the printer to rest for a short to protect yourself from burns.

•If any foreign object gets inside the head or the paper feed gear, it may cause a malfunction.
