17. CLEANING THE PRINT HEAD
Since there is a cutter at the paper outlet, be careful not to injure your fingers when cleaning the print
head and cutter.
If the print head is dirty, printing will not be clear. The print head should be cleaned with a print head
cleaner everyday before use, according to the following procedure:
1. Open the label cover and remove the label cassette. (See page 9-1)
2. Clean the print head element with the print head cleaner.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the print head when cleaning.
4. If any label paste is found on the label on the cutter, wipe off paste with alcohol.
After removing the label cutter, reattach it using the following procedure.
1. Install an unloaded label cassette on the scale.
2. Install the label cutter, aligning the cutter notches with the screw holes.
3. Secure the cutter with the screw (FL-3x6) so the bottom of the cutter is 0.5~0.8 mm above the peel-
off plate.
