10.4 Cleaning the printhead
Printing can cause accumulation of dirt at printhead e.g. by colour
particles of transfer ribbon, and therefore it is necessary to clean the
printhead in regular periods depending on operating hours,
environmental effects such as dust etc.
CAUTION!
Printhead can be damaged!
Do not use sharp or hard objects to clean the
printhead.
Do not touch protective glass layer of the printhead.
