Cleaning the Print Head

Clean the print head to maintain high print quality after 200
to 300 prints or whenever you detect broken or light
characters in a vertical line on the page.
Maintaining the Printer
NOTE: Defective paper can also cause broken or light
characters. If the problem does not go away after
you clean the print head, try a different sheet of pa-
per or a higher density setting.
Make sure the printer is turned off.
Set the printer face down so that the battery
compartment is toward you.
Using a pointed object such
as a push pin, mechanical pencil
or paper clip, gently move DIP
switch 4 away from you to the
ON position.
Turn the printer face up and
press the main switch once
quickly to turn the printer on.
To start the printer platen roller turning, press the main
switch once quickly.
Insert the cleaning cloth into the printer's paper input
slot with the rough black side, which contains the
cleaning material, toward the rear of the printer. See
Figure 18.
The printer pulls the cleaning cloth through. The platen
roller continues to turn until you turn off the printer.
Repeat step 6 several times for thorough cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean the print head with
any material other than the cleaning cloth.
The cleaning cloth is for head cleaning only. Do not
use it to clean any other part of the printer.
