Cleaning and Adjustment
of the Printer
5.1 Maintenance
A dirty print head or platen roller not only affects the print quality but also causes printing errors. Use a
cleaning kit or cleaning sheet to clean the printer regularly.
CAUTION
• Do not touch the power switch, connect or disconnect the power cord with wet hands. Doing so could cause
electric shock.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet before you do the cleaning.
The print head and its surroundings are hot after printing. Wait until the printer cools down.
• Touching the edge of the print head with bare hand could cause injury.
• Use the cleaning pen, cotton swab or cotton cloth from a cleaning kit to clean. Do not clean with a hard
object. Doing so could cause damage.
• Remove the media and ribbon before cleaning.
Note
Purchase the cleaning kit or cleaning sheet from the SATO reseller and technical service center.
