the print. To clean the print head:
a Ensure the DMP is switched off and unplug
the power lead. Wait for 5 minutes.
b Remove the ribbon cassette from the DMP.

the bottom cover as shown in "Clearing a

solvent to clean the brown heating line of
the thermal print head making strokes from

Note: The cotton sticks should be applied
gently to avoid damaging the print head.
e Replace the cover and turn the DMP the
correct way up.

your prints you should follow the proce-
dure laid out below:
