5 Cleaning Wipe off any foreign matter such as ribbon or media dust, dirt and adhesive substances built up around
the printhead, ribbon guide roller, platen etc with the accessory thermal head cleaner or a soft cloth
soaked in ethyl alcohol. It is particularly important to clean the printhead after printing on thermal media
for long periods, which will guarantee the print quality and extend the life of the printhead.
Note: Always use the thermal head cleaner when cleaning the printhead.
Do not use any solvent other than ethyl alcohol. Solvents such as benzene, acetone and
thinner will dissolve plastic parts and destroy the printhead, platen and much of the printer!
