Do not print without paper.
Clean the head with ethyl-alcohol after power is removed from the printer. This will
remove foreign particles or paper dust which may degrade print quality.

Paper Usage Precautions:
The life of the thermal head, when two-color paper is used, is reduced to about half
of the life when single-color thermal paper is used.
Use only specified thermal paper. If other paper is used, print quality, head life, and
cutter life may deteriorate.
