Cleaning

Before cleaning the unit, be sure to set it to standby with the on/standby button and disconnect the power cord.

When cleaning the inside of the printer

When cleaning the print head, use the supplied cleaning cartridge. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the cleaning cartridge.

To clean the printer roller, use a soft cloth moistened with cleaning alcohol to gently wipe the roller while turning it.

When the cabinet becomes dirty

If the cabinet is extremely dirty, soak a clean cloth in water, or a solution of water and a neutral detergent, wring out the cloth, and then wipe the surface of the cabinet. Next, wipe clean with a clean, dry cloth.

To avoid damaging the surfaces of the unit, never use thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other type of organic solvent to clean the unit.

When the display becomes dirty

When the display has become considerably dirty, wipe it clean with a dry cloth or with a clean cloth soaked in water and thoroughly wrung out. Do not use even a mild detergent, as it can damage the surface of the display. Never touch or strike the surface of the display with a hard object.

When the filter for the cooling fan becomes dirty

When the filter for the thermal head cooling fan has become considerably dirty, remove it and rinse off the dirt with water. Do not scrub the filter mesh with a brush or other cleaning tool.
