Cleaning Your Printer
The 680x series of portable printers require little mainte-
nance. They were designed to be rugged and attractive
without constant attention. However, with continued use,
the printer will collect dirt and residue and require some
cleaning.
Cleaning the Interior
Dirt, adhesive and residue will collect on the print head of
the printer and need to be removed. Clean your printer once
a month if you use it frequently, or once every three months
if used infrequently.
We offers a printer cleaning card that is used to clean the
6804, 6805a, and 6806 printers. It is a paper--sized card
that has been saturated with a cleaning solution.
1. Tear open the pouch containing the cleaning card and
remove the card.
2. Remove the receipt paper from the printer and insert
the cleaning card into the paper feed.
3. Press the red self--test button on the side of the print-
er for 4 seconds. Conduct self tests until the card feeds
all the way through the printer.
4. Allow a few seconds for the print head to dry and in-
sert it through the printer again.
