alcohol.

• Do not damage the thermal head.

• When the poor print quality is not corrected even if the head has been cleaned,

replacement of the thermal head may be required. Contact your dealer.

CAUTION

Thermal head is hot right after printing. Wait until the head cools before

cleaning the thermal head.

NOTE

The thermal head may be damaged if you touch it while static electricity builds

up on your body.

When you clean the thermal head, make sure not to apply excessive force to the

peeling roller on the bottom of the thermal head. When the excessive force is

applied to the roller, the roller may be deformed, resulting in deterioration of the
