Cleaning the Print Head
Once the unit is opened, the ticket path is accessible for cleaning or clearing tickets. Use a soft brush to
clean the paper dust from inside the printer and chassis area. The paper dust should also be removed from
the sensor optics. If streaking on the printed ticket is evident, the thermal print head may need to be cleaned.
This can be done by inserting a thermal printer cleaning card.
