Switch the printer to the OFFLINE state.

Remove the cassette and place it aside.
Note:
Do not attempt to clean the printhead with the cassette in place.

Clean the printhead pixel line (Figure 5-16 on page 5-13), the white
cassette rollers and the peel roller gently, using the cleaning swabs
provided with the printer.

printhead with sharp objects.
