27 CLEANING
4 • 2 Cleaning the Print Head
A cleaning using the cleaning system with cards usually suffices. However, a
separate Print head cleaning using swabs can remove more stubborn deposits when
print anomalies persist. To avoid deposits, only use foam-tipped swabs.
1 • Switch power Off, open cover, raise Print Head
and remove the Ribbon.
2 • Clean Print Head by moving alcohol-moistened
swab tip side-to-side across Print Head elements.
Only use moderate force.
Make sure the elements are dry before switching on.
(To reorder swabs see Appendix C).
Never use a sharp object to scrape deposits from
the print head. Permanent damage will result.
