External Cleaning

Protection Against Dust

Cleaning on a regular basis is important for life of the printer
and for the printout quality.
Turn the printhead lift knob to "Load" position and remove
1
the paper web and the transfer ribbon.
Insert a Printhead Cleaning Card into the print mechanism,
2
allowing 2–3 cm (1") to extend in front of the printhead.
Turn the knob clockwise to "Print" position and slowly pull
3
out the cleaning card. Repeat if necessary.
Using a piece of cloth or blotting paper slightly moistened
4
with isopropanol, clean the print roller, the dispenser edge,
and the ribbon guide plate.
Important!
5
Allow a couple of minutes for the cleaned parts to get dry
before loading paper and ribbon.
Cleaning Card
Wipe the outside surfaces using a damp piece of cloth. If
necessary, add a mild detergent. Be careful not to allow any
water to penetrate into the interior of the printer.
Protect paper and ribbon from dust by always keeping the stock
compartment door closed. In case of an external paper supply,
it is strongly recommended that both the actual supply and the
web path be protected by some kind of dust cover. Dirt, sand, grit
etc. may rapidly cause irreparable damage to the printhead.
CAUTION!
Remove the power cord
before cleaning.
