APPENDIX
5 Open the front of the set cover to
expose the printing surface of the
head.
6 Use a cotton swab or a soft cloth
dipped in alcohol (ethyl or isopropyl
alcohol) to clean the thermal ele-
ment of the print head.
7 Clean the surface platen by holding
a soft, dry cloth in place and turning
the paper feed knob.

pleted, confirm that the head up

Cautions
* Never use sharp tools or abrasive materials, such as a knife or sandpaper, to
clean the thermal element of the print head. Serious damage will result.
* Always wait until the alcohol has completely dried before printing.
* Always wait until the thermal element of the print head has cooled before
cleaning.
(2)Other Cleaning

cleaning. They can attach to the paper and cause poor printing.
