Cleaning the thermal print head

Over a period of time, the printing ink from the grid on the paper can form a film on the
thermal print head. This can cause the print quality to deteriorate. We recommend
therefore that the print head is cleaned with alcohol every month. This is done as
follows:
1. Open the paper tray and remove the paper. The thermal print head is located di-
rectly above the pressure roller (when the paper tray is closed).
2. With a tissue dampened in alcohol, gently rub the printhead to remove the ink
residue. If the print head is badly soiled, the colour of the paper grid ink will show
on the tissue.
