Cleaning the Print Head

The LA Paper Roll used in the LPS-1 is designed to automatically clean the print head. As the LA Paper Roll passes over the head during printing or label feeding, the print head is cleaned. If necessary, simply feed the LA Paper Roll using the FEED button to clean the print head.

Cleaning the Roller

Use a Cleaning Sheet to clean the roller as described in the following procedure. Refer to Accessories on page 61 for details on purchasing Cleaning Sheets.

Only use Cleaning Sheets designed for the LPS-1 to clean the roller.

Anything else may scratch or damage the surface of the roller.

1 Turn off the LPS-1.

2 Hold the LA Roll compartment cover at the sides near the front of the LPS-1 and firmly lift up to open the cover.

3 Remove the LA Roll.

Be sure to remove the LA Roll before cleaning the roller. The roller cleaning function will not operate correctly if the LA Roll is not removed.
