Cleaning
Wipe off any foreign objects such as media dust, dirt and adhesive substances
built up around the printhead and platen with the head cleaning pen (head
cleaner) provided, and use a soft cloth soaked in ethyl alcohol for the platen
etc.
It is particularly important to clean the thermal printhead after printing on
thermal media for long periods, which will guarantee the print quality and
extend the life of the thermal printhead.
Note: Always use the head cleaner when cleaning the thermal printhead.

To clean the entire surface of the platen, rotate the platen little by little with
your thumb using a cheese cloth. Do not touch the platen with your bare
hands.
