17. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is very important since minute debris of thermosensible paper sticking to the
platen may cause slipping of the paper feeder. Maintenance should be made as follows:
Maintenance Timing:
Generally, TUP series should be maintained every time after using 10 rolls of 8 inch ø Star Standard
Spec paper roll, or 5 km length.
Generally, TSP series should be maintained every time after using 35 rolls of 115mm ø Star
Standard Spec paper roll, or 5 km length.
Maintenance Procedures:
1. Make sure that the power supply is turned off before starting the maintenance procedures.
2. Wipe and rub the platen gently with a dry soft cloth to remove all debris stuck on the platen sur-
face. (Turn the platen around to remove debris from all the surface.)
*Take enough care not to touch the gears and the cutter guide when wiping the platen to avoid any
bodily injury.
*Avoid wiping a same spot of the platen continuously, otherwise it may cause deformation of the
platen.
*Wash your hands thoroughly before touching the platen.
