8.2 CLEANING PROCEDURE AND PRECAUTIONS
When foreign matter adheres between the thermal head and platen roller, it may cause print failure. If
accumulation of paper powder or foreign matter is seen, or print quality seems to have deteriorated, clean
the thermal head and platen roller.
8.2.1 PRECAUTIONS
1)
Do not clean the printer immediately after printing because thermal head and its periphery are
hot during and after printing.
2)
Do not use sandpaper, cutter knives etc. when cleaning. They will damage the heat elements.
8.2.2 PROCEDURE
1)
Turn the release lever in the direction of the arrow shown in
Figure 8-1
. After confirming that
the platen block has separated from the printer mechanism, lift the platen block up.
2)
Clean the heat elements and platen roller surface using alcohol and a cotton swab.
3)
Wait until the alcohol dries and close the platen block.
