4. Cleaning the printer
During normal operation, some paper particles will be adhered to the surface of the thermal printer head.
Therefore, we recommend that you clean the head after 10 km of printed paper or if the print quality is
degraded. Turn the printer off before cleaning it. Clean the thermal printer head with a cotton swab dipped
in rubbing alcohol (ethanol or isopropanol). Do not clean the thermal printer head with hard objects,
abrasive or fingers, as this can damage the surface. Clean the platen roller (rubber roller) with cotton to
remove dust particles.
Note :
1.Certify that the printer is turned off and if it was in operation, wait for the cooling of the thermal printer
head.
2. When cleaning the thermal printer head, be careful and do not touch the thermal printer head, it can
be damaged by static electricity.
3. Be careful to not allow the thermal printer head being scratched and / or damaged in any way.
4. When cleaning is complete, wait a few minutes to re-operate, so that any alcohol excess remaining
evaporates.
5. Use an applicator swab moistened with an alcohol solution to clean the print head and remove
any dusts.
6. Once the cleaning is completed, insert paper roll into the printer few minutes later and close
the printer cover.
Preventing Overheating
To prevent the motor from overheating, continuous operation of the printer should be
1.5 m or less in print length. Set the pause time for 30 seconds or more than it.
