CLEANING PROCEDURES
Cleaning of the printer is a necessary maintenace activity to ensure print quality and longer printer life. There are
two basic types of cleaning involved; the removal of loose debris and the removal of residue.
Use a soft cloth and/or a pneumatic blower to remove debris from the printer. This process should be performed
prior to the removal of residue. To remove residue, apply SATO Solvent or isopropyl alcohol to a clean cotton swab
and gently wipe the entire surface of the print head and rollers until clean.
To gain access to the printer’s chassis, pull purple knob (1) outward to drop plate (2) downward. Remove thumb-
screw (3) should removal of the plate become necessary.
