Cleaning

Cleaning the inside of the printer

If stripes, scratches, or other marks begin to appear on 
prints, cleaning the inside of the printer may solve the 
problem. Cleaning the inside of the printer is especially 
effective in removing white stripes and scratches like those 
shown in the figure.

White stripes tend to appear when using the 2UPC-C13 or 
2UPC-C15 printing pack after printing a large quantity of 
prints with the 2UPC-C14 or 2UPC-C48PF. Accumulation 
of dust on the thermal head can also cause white stripes 
and scratches to appear. When this occurs, use the cleaning 
cartridge supplied with the printer and the cleaning sheet 
supplied with the printing pack to clean the inside of the 
printer. The cleaning cartridge can be used repeatedly.

1

Look at the 

 indicator to confirm that the paper 

holder is installed.

The indicator is lit when the paper holder is installed.

2

Remove the paper tray.

3

Open the side door, and remove the ribbon cartridge.

4

Insert the cleaning cartridge all the way.

The CLEANING indicator begins flashing.

5

Press the CLEANING button on the front panel of the 
printer.

The CLEANING indicator remains lit, and some paper 
is ejected from the printer.
The CLEANING indicator begins flashing again after 
the paper is ejected.

6

Remove the protective paper from the back side of the 
cleaning sheet (the side without an illustration).

Be careful not to confuse the back and front sides of 
the cleaning sheet.

7

Determine by the width of the print paper the 
orientation to affix the cleaning sheet, and affix the 
cleaning sheet evenly and squarely onto the ejected 
paper as illustrated.

When using the 2UPC-C14 or 2UPC-C48PF printing 
pack, orient the cleaning sheet lengthwise rather than 
crosswise.
Firmly affix the entire cleaning sheet so that the 
corners do not peel up and the center is not raised. If 
the corners of the cleaning sheet peel up, cleaning may 
not be performed properly.

8

Remove the protective paper from the front side of the 
cleaning sheet.
