Cleaning the Interior
If defects such as white stripes and speckled scratches
begin to appear in printouts, you may need to clean the
thermal head and rollers. To prevent such occurrences,
we recommend regular cleaning of the thermal head and
rollers using the printing pack replacement cycle (when
one printing pack runs out) as a reference.
Cleaning the thermal head is effective in removing white
stripes, while cleaning the rollers is effective in
removing speckled scratches. When cleaning the
interior, always clean the thermal head before cleaning
the rollers. You can also end the cleaning process after
cleaning only the thermal head.

The following items are necessary to perform interior
cleaning.
• The cleaning ribbon supplied with the printer (used for
cleaning the thermal head and rollers)
• The cleaning sheet (Cleaning Sheet 200) supplied
with the printing pack (used for cleaning the rollers)
• Print paper (used for cleaning the thermal head and
rollers)
Notes
• The cleaning ribbon is reusable. Do not throw it away.
• As the cleaning sheet in not reusable, discard it after
the first use.
• If there is insufficient print paper remaining, an error
may occur. If this occurs, replace the print paper and
begin the cleaning process again.
