3.8 Cleaning the Thermal Head
CAUTION:
After printing, the thermal head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it and to let it
cool before you clean it. Do not damage the thermal head by touching it with your
fingers or any hard object.
Turn off the printer, open the peeler cover and the roll paper cover, and clean the thermal
elements of the print head with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol,
methanol, or IPA).
EPSON recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 6 months) to
maintain print quality.

When paper dust accumulates on the platen rollers or the roll paper end sensor, follow the steps

months).
1. Turn off the printer, open the peeler cover, and then the roll paper cover.
