battery if

free and print head is clean.

battery compartment, wipe with a lint-free
cloth. Remove dirt and smudges using a cotton
ball and alcohol.

dust before performing maintenance on the

months to prevent particle accumulation on the
print head.

Clean stamper before storing if the stamper will
not be used for an extended period of time.
