PRINT HEAD & ROLLERS
Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machine’s print head and
rollers. This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very dusty
environment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a blank horizontal streak
may appear through the label text. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the machine’s head
may need to be cleaned from time to time.
To clean the print head and rollers:
1
Turn off the machine.
2 Open the tape compartment cover, then remove the tape cassette if one is installed.
The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment.
3 Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up-and-
down motion.
Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion
while rotating them with your finger.
4 Install a tape cassette, close the tape compartment cover, and then try printing
again.
5 If dust still remains, repeat steps 3 and 4 using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl
(rubbing) alcohol.
If none of the above works, contact your service representative.
