Cleaning
Note
Be sure to turn off the power of the printer before
cleaning.
Cleaning the cabinet
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such
as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.
Cleaning the thermal head
Clean the thermal head with the thermal head cleaning
cartridge (supplied) if the printout quality deteriorates,
for example, when the white stripes begin to appear on
the printout.
It is recommended that you clean the thermal head after
every 10 packs of paper to keep the printout quality at its
best.
1
Remove the paper tray and remove the paper.
2
Place the cleaning sheet in the paper tray so that the
shiny surface faces down.
Notes
• Be sure to use the cleaning sheet supplied with
the UPC-21L/21S color printing pack.
• Do not reuse the old cleaning sheet.
3
Load the cleaning cartridge into the ribbon
compartment.
Immediately after you load the paper tray with the
cleaning sheet and cleaning cartridge, the RIBBON
indicator goes off and the printer starts cleaning the
thermal head automatically.
When the printer has completed cleaning the
thermal head, the RIBBON indicator goes on again.
Note
When you load the cleaning cartridge into the ink
ribbon compartment with the printer’s power on,
the printer starts cleaning.
If the printer is not turned on, even though you turn
on the power after loading the cleaning cartridge,
the printer will not start cleaning.
