Cleaning

Note

Be sure to turn off the power of the printer before cleaning.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.

Cleaning the thermal head

Clean the thermal head with the thermal head cleaning cartridge (supplied) if the printout quality deteriorates, for example, when the white stripes begin to appear on the printout.

It is recommended that you clean the thermal head after every 10 packs of paper to keep the printout quality at its best.

1 Remove the paper tray and remove the paper.

2 Place the cleaning sheet in the paper tray so that the shiny surface faces down.

Notes

•Be sure to use the cleaning sheet supplied with the UPC-21L/21S color printing pack.

•Do not reuse the old cleaning sheet.

3 Load the cleaning cartridge into the ribbon compartment.

Immediately after you load the paper tray with the cleaning sheet and cleaning cartridge, the RIBBON indicator goes off and the printer starts cleaning the thermal head automatically.

When the printer has completed cleaning the thermal head, the RIBBON indicator goes on again.

Note

When you load the cleaning cartridge into the ink ribbon compartment with the printer’s power on, the printer starts cleaning.

If the printer is not turned on, even though you turn on the power after loading the cleaning cartridge, the printer will not start cleaning.
