●Cleaning the Printer
Although varying according to how much the printer is used, clean the printer when it appears that printing quality has decreased significantly.
In addition, since the inside of the printer may be hot immediately after use, wait for a while after turning off the power before cleaning.
1 Turn off the printer power and unplug the power cord.
Tip
•Do not unplug the power cord with wet hands. Grasping the plug of the power cord with wet hands can lead to the risk of electrical shock. Always make sure to unplug the power cord with dry hands.
2 Lower the cover eject lever to open the printer cover.
Caution
•Never touch the thermal head. Contact with the thermal head can cause burns.
•The thermal head sensor is extremely sen- sitive to static electricity. Never touch the thermal head sensor since this has the
risk of causing a malfunction.
