Cleaning the Print Head
If printing is not clear or white streaks appear, the print head may be dirty. We
recommend cleaning the print head about once a month.
WARNING
• Before cleaning, be sure to turn off the power and unplug the power
supply. Also, remove the batteries from the printer. Doing so may result in
fi re or electric shock.
• Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other fl ammable solvents to clean the unit.
Doing so may result in fi re or electric shock.
1
Turn off the power and unplug the power plug from the power
outlet.
If batteries are being used, remove them.
2
Open the cover and remove the ribbon cassette, and attachment (or
label tape cassette).
3
Open the cover and wipe off any dirt on the print head with a
cotton swab moistened with water and wrung out tightly.
