fingers between the cover and chassis.
Printhead
The printhead remains at a high temperature immediately after
printing. Therefore, be careful to avoid contact with the printhead
when replacing the ribbon or media or cleaning the printer
immediately after printing. Failure to observe this precaution may
result in burning.
The edge of the printhead can injur e y our bare hands and the
printhead itself can give you an electrical shock. To replace the
printhead, contact our service personnel. Never try replacement
by yourself.

Printer care and cleani ng
Whilst performing maintenance and cleaning, the plug of the

Do not use benzine, thinner, alcohol, etc. to wipe the dirt off the

If the dirt is too large, soak a cloth in a thin neutral detergent and
squeeze out and wipe with it, and finally wipe with a dry, soft
cloth.
