13. Maintenance

This chapter explains the routine maintenance procedures.
To ensure the continuous high quality operation of your printer, regularly perform the maintenance routines or every
time when the media is changed.
When the printer is intensively used (high throughout), perform the maintenance on a daily basis. When the printer is
not intensively used, perform these maintenance on a weekly basis.
 Before cleaning the printer and its inside, be sure to turn off the power of the printer and unplug the power plug
from the outlet for safety.
 To avoid injury, be careful not to trap your fingers in the paper slot while opening or closing the top cover. You may
injure yourself.
 The print head will become very hot during printing. Therefore, do not touch the print head or its vicinity
immediately after printing. You may get burnt if you touch it in such a condition.
 Do not pour water directly onto the printer. This may cause damage, an electric shock or a fire.
 Do not allow any hard objects to touch the print head or platen roller. This may cause damage to them.
 Do not use any volatile solvents including thinner and benzene. This may cause discoloration of the cover, print
failure or printer damage.
 Do not touch the print head with your bare hands. This may cause static electricity and thus may damage the print
head.
