Daily maintenance and regular inspection

This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated component continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, please perform daily maintenance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire tape-winding mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.

Please perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.
