3.8 Cleaning the Thermal Head

CAUTION:

After printing, the thermal head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it and to let it

cool before you clean it. Do not damage the thermal head by touching it with your

fingers or any hard object.

Turn off the printer, open the peeler cover and the roll paper cover, and clean the thermal

elements of the print head with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol,

methanol, or IPA).

EPSON recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 6 months) to

maintain print quality.

3.9 Cleaning the Platen Roller/Roll Paper End Sensor

When paper dust accumulates on the platen rollers or the roll paper end sensor, follow the steps

below to clean them. To maintain good functional capabilities, clean them regularly (every 6

months).

1. Turn off the printer, open the peeler cover, and then the roll paper cover.

2. Clean the platen roller with a cotton swab lightly moistened with water or alcohol.
