CLEANING THE PRINTER

Paper feed rollers

Wipe with a soft cloth moistened with water.
Wipe again with a soft, dry cloth.

Platen rubber/cutter base

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Caution

Be careful not to damage the platen rubber.
Avoid wiping the platen rubber with alcohol or
other solvents.

Shuttle shaft

If the shaft becomes dirty, the printer will
not function properly. Wipe the shaft
carefully with a soft cloth.

Thermal heads

When the thermal heads have cooled (at
least 2 minutes after the printer has been
switched off) wipe the heater element
vertically with a soft, dry cloth.

If the thermal heads are particularly dirty, apply
a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to the
cloth. (Never touch the print heads directly
with your hands.)
