4. Daily Care
4.1. Cleaning the Print Cartridge
Poor quality prints can occur due to blocked ink emission
holes in the nozzle. Leaving the imprinter unused for long
periods can also cause emission holes to become blocked.
When the emission holes are blocked, clean the nozzle
surface of the print cartridge.
For cleaning, use a dry lint-free cloth (DO NOT use
ATTENTION
tissue), and gently wipe any dirt and stains off the
nozzle's surface.
1.
Turn off the Scanner.
2.
Remove the Print Cartridge.
(Refer to "3.4. Replacing the Print Cartridge")
When cleaning, be careful not to touch the
ATTENTION
nozzle plate or the contact parts of the
cartridge directly by hand.

Gently wipe any dirt and stains off the nozzle
surface.

Make sure that all dirt and stains are removed,

4.2. Cleaning the Imprinter
After frequent use, ink will begin to accumulate or stick to
the base of the imprinter, which can soil printouts. Always
maintain the imprinter base clean.
To assure high quality print outs and long use of the
imprinter, adopt a daily maintenance procedure as given
below.
●
When cleaning, gently wipe off dust on the
ATTENTION
imprinter base with an absorbent item that
can remove the ink.
●
If the ink is dried, gently wipe it with a
moistened cloth. (Since the ink is water
soluble, it can be cleaned away with water.)
1.
Turn off the Scanner.
2.
Open the Print Cartridge Cover and remove the
print cartridge.
(Refer to "3.4. Replacing the Print Cartridge")
3.
Open the Imprinter Cover.
4.
Clean the print cartridge holder base by wiping off
any dirt and dust with a lint-free cloth.
When cleaning, be careful not to touch the
metal wheels located behind the upper rollers
on the print cartridge cover.
5.
Check that the dirt is wiped off, and then close the
imprinter cover.
6.
Reinstall the print cartridge and close the print
cartridge cover.
