6.3 Cleaning
The SP-401 exterior cabinet may be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleanser.
Care should be taken to prevent liquids from entering inside the mechanical
assembly. If in a dirty environment the mechanism may be removed and the parts
may be cleaned with alcohol and a cotton swab. The mechanism may also be
“blown out” with compressed air. Do not direct air flow to printer platen, this may
remove the soft rubber printing surface from the platen. When the mechanism is
clean and free of dirt, a light silicon lubricant may be applied (sparingly) to the
moving mechanical components.
