18.4.Cleaning and Preserving the Thermal Head

If recording for long periods of time, the heat dissipating part of this instrument's thermal head may

become clogged with paper remains, etc. If the head is dirty, the quality of the printing and image

reproduction will be reduced, so in this case the head will require cleaning.

The life of the thermal head is about 30 km (about 1000 rolls of YPS106 recording paper). The

recording quality may drop if the head is used in excess of this amount. In this case the thermal

head must be replaced (additional cost), so please contact one of our sales offices or distributors.

If the platen roller collects dust or other dirt, the thermal head may incur damage, or the quality of the

printing or image reproduction may drop. When the roller shows signs of dirt, therefore, it must be

cleaned carefully with gauze soaked in ethanol.

If a power outage occurs, or the power cable is removed during recording, the status of the system

following restoration of power will be as same status as [STOP] key on the operation panel is pressed.

In this case, because the settings at power off are backed up, recording can be started again

immediately.

If the auto start function has been set to ON, recording with commence automatically.
