Regular maintenance
This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated compo-
nent continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, perform routine
maintenance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire
tape-winding mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.
Perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.
䡵Regular maintenance

Depending on the number of usage hours, inspect or replace the components as follows:
