Operating the printer
3-18 October 1997
Cleaning the printer
To help ensure good printer performance and high-quality output, make
sure the printer’s operating environment is clean and dust-free.
Clean the printer regularly as described below.
Before you begin: Turn the printer
Off
and unplug it.
• Clean the thermal head when you load a new ribbon or if you notice
image quality problems.
• Wipe the printer cabinet, the paper tray area, and the output tray with
distilled or deionized water and a damp, lint–free cloth. This eliminates
dust buildup and prevents dirt from getting into the printer.
CAUTION: Never use abrasives or harsh chemicals to clean
any part of the printer.
Do not use the alcohol cleaning pads packaged
with new ribbon to clean the printer cabinet.
• Clean the area around and under the printer to keep dust out of the
cooling fan.
• Vacuum the printer and the surrounding area to keep them dust free.
