Cleaning

Cleaning the inside of the printer
If stripes, scratches, or other marks begin to appear on
prints, cleaning the inside of the printer may solve the
problem. Cleaning the inside of the printer is especially
effective in removing white stripes and scratches like those
shown in the figure.
White stripes
Speckled scratch
White stripes tend to appear when using the 2UPC-C13 or
2UPC-C15 printing pack after printing a large quantity of
prints with the 2UPC-C14 or 2UPC-C48PF. Accumulation
of dust on the thermal head can also cause white stripes
and scratches to appear. When this occurs, use the cleaning
cartridge supplied with the printer and the cleaning sheet
supplied with the printing pack to clean the inside of the
printer. The cleaning cartridge can be used repeatedly.

Remove the protective paper from the back side of the
cleaning sheet (the side without an illustration).
Be careful not to confuse the back and front sides of
the cleaning sheet.
Determine by the width of the print paper the
orientation to affix the cleaning sheet, and affix the
cleaning sheet evenly and squarely onto the ejected
paper as illustrated.
When using the 2UPC-C14 or 2UPC-C48PF printing
pack, orient the cleaning sheet lengthwise rather than
crosswise.
Firmly affix the entire cleaning sheet so that the
corners do not peel up and the center is not raised. If
the corners of the cleaning sheet peel up, cleaning may
not be performed properly.
Remove the protective paper from the front side of the
cleaning sheet.
