8-3. Cleaning the Thermal Head
(1) Before attempting to clean the thermal head, be sure to turn off the
printer power switch.
(2) Open the top cover.
(3)
Using an alcohol solvent, remove black paper particles and other residue
from the surface of the thermal head. If the printer printed on label paper,
any adhesive matter adhering to the surface of the thermal head must be
removed.
Caution: Immediately after printing, the thermal head is hot. Before cleaning
the head, allow the head enough time to cool.
Caution: Because the thermal head is susceptible to damage by static electricity,
take precautions to prevent the generation of static electricity.
Caution: Do not use a solvent other than ethyl or isopropyl alcohol.
Caution: Do not turn on the printer until all alcohol has dried.
Caution: The thermal head is susceptible to damage. When cleaning it, use a
soft cloth and be especially careful not to damage the head.
