2. PRINTER CLEANING
Dust on the printer head will cause faint or darkly print. In such a case, wipe the printer head softly with dry, soft cloth. At the same time, wipe and
clean the roller and the senor as well. If necessary, immerse a cloth in alcohol to clean.
Caution:
• Since the printer head and its peripheral sections and the motor surface are heated to a high temperature during operations or immediately after
operations, use enough care to clean the printer head after cooling it down.
• Do not touch the printer head directly with bare hand or do not put a tool or some hard items near the printer head in order not to damage the printer
head.
1) Disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
2) Remove the printer cover.
3) If the roll paper is wound around the winding shaft, separate it from
the roll paper first, then lift the printer arm.
