Regular maintenance
This unit uses consumables or components that will wear off. If a worn-out or deteriorated compo-

maintenance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire
tape-winding mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.
Perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.
