This chapter describes how to perform routine maintenance.
To ensure the continuous high quality operation of the printer, you should
perform a regular maintenance routine. For high throughput it should be
done on a daily basis. For low throughput it should be done on a weekly
basis.
To maintain the printer performance and print quality, please clean the
printer regularly, or whenever the media or ribbon is replaced.
1. Turn off the power and unplug the printer.
2. Open the Top Cover.
3. Turn the Head Lever to Free position, then release the Ribbon Shaft
Holder Plate.

When cleaning the print head, be careful not to damage the print head
with a hard object like a watch or a ring.
Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please
treat it carefully by not hitting a hard object against it.

power cord before performing
maintenance. Failure to do
this may cause an electric
