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.

Notes

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

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.
