5 Cleaning
Wipe off any foreign matter such as ribbon or media dust, dirt and adhesive substances built
up around the printhead, ribbon guide roller, platen etc with the accessory thermal head
cleaner or a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol. It is particularly important to clean the
printhead after printing on thermal media for long periods, which will guarantee the print
quality and extend the life of the printhead.
Note: Always use the thermal head cleaner when cleaning the printhead.
CAUTION
Do not use any solvent other than ethyl alcohol. Solvents such as benzene, acetone and
thinner will dissolve plastic parts and destroy the printhead, platen and much of the printer!
