Cleaning the Thermal Head

Epson recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 3 months) to
maintain receipt print quality.
After printing, the thermal head can be very hot. Do not touch it and let it cool before
you clean it. Do not damage the thermal head by touching it with your fingers or any
hard object.
CAUTION
Turn off the printer and open the printer cover. Clean the thermal elements of the thermal head
with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol or IPA).
