Maintaining Printer
Functionality
In addition to the following precautions, be sure to
refer to the safety warnings and notices at the
beginning of this manual.
When "Clean Thermal Head" appears on the
video monitor or printer window display
When the printer reaches a total of 1000 prints,
"Clean Thermal Head" will appear on the video
monitor or printer window display. In this case,
perform thermal head cleaning. For details, see
"Cleaning the thermal head" (page 76).
The message appears for approximately
6 seconds after you press the POWER switch to

When "Clean Paper Feed Roller" appears on the
video monitor or printer window display
When the last piece of paper in the paper feed tray
is used during printing, the printer executes
automatic paper feed roller cleaning. If the
internal sensor detects more dust than expected
on the paper feed roller, "Clean Paper Feed Roller"
appears on the monitor or printer window display.
In this case, perform manual paper feed roller
cleaning. For details, see "Manual paper feed
roller cleaning" (page 77).
The message about roller cleaning appears at the
end of printing if paper feeding power is lower
than expected.
When not used for a long time
• Press the POWER switch to turn off the
printer, and then disconnect the power cord.
• Remove the partially used paper and ink ribbon
from the printer, reseal them in their original
bags, and store them in a cool, dark location.
Before unsealing and using them again, allow
them to return to room temperature to prevent
condensation.

following locations:
