Cleaning the Interior
If defects such as white stripes, fading, or scratches begin
to appear in printouts, you may need to clean the thermal
head and rollers. In particular, white stripes and lines tend
to appear when using the 2UPC-R203 series or 2UPC-
R205 series printing pack after printing a large quantity of
prints with the 2UPC-R204 series or 2UPC-R206/C26
series printing pack.
You can check whether cleaning is necessary in the
confirmation screen for the remaining ink ribbon. To
display the confirmation screen for the remaining ink
ribbon, touch the top right corner of the Start Guide screen
twice in succession.
When the total number of prints exceeds a fixed value, a
message indicating that cleaning is necessary appears. If
this occurs, touch the
button to begin cleaning.
The following items are necessary to perform interior
cleaning.
• The cleaning ribbon supplied with the printer
• The cleaning sheet (Cleaning Sheet) supplied with the
printing pack
• Print paper
• The cleaning ribbon is reusable. Do not throw it away.
• As the cleaning sheet in not reusable, discard it after the
first use.
• If there is insufficient print paper remaining, an error
may occur. If this occurs, replace the print paper and
begin the cleaning process again.
