3-3 Cleaning the Heads Using the Cleaning Kit
When the Cleaning Kit Becomes Necessary
If problems such as dot drop-outs occur frequently and are not corrected by the machine's head-cleaning feature,
clean the heads using the cleaning kit. Such cleaning can be effective when carried out periodically, according to the
frequency of use.
If you use up the cleaning kit, purchase a new one from your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or Roland
DG Corp. service center.
The print heads are components that wear out. Periodic replacement is required, with the frequency of re-
placement depending on use. Purchase them from your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or Roland DG
Corp. service center.
