Maintenance and Cleaning
The Reliance Series Thermal Printer is relatively maintenance free. An occasional cleaning is all
that is needed to keep the printer in top operation. Refer to Figure 7 and this information. To
clean the printer.
First, open the Reliance using the top latch.
Look in the Reliance and remove any paper or paper pieces that are in the unit. In
particular, look at the white guide near the rear of the unit as well as the large
rectangular opening near the front of the Reliance.
Clean the printer head and rubber rollers (Front and rear rollers) using a can of
compressed air (commonly sold at office supply stores.) See Figure 14.

Clean the front slot of the printer in the same manner as above. For detailed cleaning, a
simple Q-tip works best.
Close the printer.
Note: Do not use any oils or silicone spray on the Reliance!
