Thermal head Cleaning
It is necessary for you to clean the thermal head periodically (generally every three month) to
maintain the receipt print quality.
CAUTION:
After printing, the print head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it. Also let it cool
before you clean it.
Do not damage the print head by touching it with your fingers or any hard object.
