Cleaning the Print Head
When the printed text is getting dark or faint, paper dust may be stuck to the print head. Clean the print head
as follows:
1.
Turn the mode switch to the “OFF” position and remove
the AC power.
2.
Remove the printer cover.
3.
Pull the print head release lever all the way forward
(after it stops at one position, continue pulling forward
until it stops again and cannot be pulled forward any
further).
4.
Clean the print head with a soft rag moist with ethyl
alcohol or isopropyl alcohol.
5.
Return the print head release lever to its original position
immediately after cleaning.
6.
Reset the paper roll(s) correctly by following the steps in
“Installing the paper roll”.
7.
Replace the printer cover.
Precautions:
Never touch the print head with a tool or anything
hard as it may damage the head.
