Caring for the Printer

roller become dirty. Perform the following steps to clean the print head and
rubber roller.

and rubber roller. Use of a very fine type cotton swab is recommended.
1. Press the cassette cover release and open the cover.
• If a tape cartridge is loaded in the printer, remove it.
2. Use a cotton swab moistened with alcohol to thoroughly swab the areas
where the print head and rubber roller come into contact.

Cleaning the Printer Exterior
