Thermal head heat element

Figure 8-2 Cleaning Position of the Thermal Head

8.2.2 Precautions for Cleaning the Thermal Head



Do not clean the thermal head immediately after printing because the temperature of the thermal

head and its peripherals rises very high during and immediately after printing.



Clean the thermal head with the platen unit released.



Do not use sandpaper, a cutter knife, or anything which may damage the heat element for cleaning.
