Cleaning Inside the Top Cover
Cleaning Inside the Top Cover
Clean inside the Top Cover about once a month to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems.
Also clean inside the Top Cover in the following situations to ensure optimal operation.
• If the printed surface or the underside of paper is dirty after printing
After you have used up a roll
•

944
• After printing on paper that generates a lot of paper dust
• If the message "Blue platen switch is dirty." is displayed
Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving the print-
er on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.
Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact with elec-
trical components inside the printer, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•
If the Ejection Guide is dirty, it may soil the edge of the paper when the paper is cut. We recommend cleaning the
Ejection Guide even if it does not appear dirty, because it may actually be covered with paper dust.
