Cleaning of the thermal head
To clean the thermal head, proceed as follows:
1
Remove the ink ribbon cassette from the printer.
2
Attach the cleaning tip to the cleaning tip holder,
and install the cleaning tip holder in the printer.
The cleaning tip holder can be mounted in the same
way as that of the ink ribbon cassette.
3
Insert the cleaning tip holder fully until it stops,
then pull the holder out until the open window of
the holder fully appears. Repeat the inserting/
pulling-out of the holder about three times.
Thermal head cleaning is finished.
4
Remove the cleaning tip holder from the printer,
and remount the ink ribbon cassette in the printer.
Notes
• Don’t moisten the tip with the cleaning liquid or water.
A moistened tip may deteriorate the performance of
the thermal head.
• Especially when using the black tip, be careful not to
insert/pull-out the holder too many times at one
cleaning. The lifespan of the head may be decreased.
• Be careful not to swallow the cleaning tips. Store them
out of the reach of children.

(“Ink ribbon cassette” stands for the supplied ink ribbon
holder loaded with ink ribbon.) Use the ink ribbon and
paper contained in the same package. If the printer
detects an incompatible combination, an error message
appears in the printer window display and you cannot
make printouts.
