Shuttle shaft
If the shaft becomes dirty, the printer will not function properly. Wipe the shaft carefully with a soft cloth.
Thermal heads
When the thermal heads have cooled (at least 2 minutes after the printer has been switched off) wipe the heater element vertically with a soft, dry cloth.
If the thermal heads are particularly dirty, apply a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to the cloth. (Never touch the print heads directly with your hands.)
