6.4 Cleaning the Ribbon Roller
When the ribbon roller becomes dirty or has refuse attached, it is not possible to make a clean print, and white lines will
appear in the printing.
Clean the ribbon roller regularly, and take care so that the print quality does not deteriorate. There are 3 ribbon rollers,
and they are placed inside the opened thermal head section.
Clean without severe mechanical impact to the thermal head heating element.
• Upon performing maintenance, in order to prevent the likes of electrostatic disruption and corrosion,
please do not directly touch the thermal heads with your hands. Ensure not to do the same for the media
surface that the thermal heads come into contact with.
• Please absolutely refrain from the use of the attached cleaner.
Referring to "6.2 Removing/Mounting the Ribbon Stocker", remove the ribbon stocker section and clean the ribbon
roller.
As for the cleaning method, open the thermal head section, and gently wipe the roller section at the tip of the head with
the cleaning stick as shown.

Since there is the possibility of damaging the ribbon roller if you rub it forcefully or wipe it with a cloth that has not been
specified, wipe it only with a cleaning stick.
When particularly dirty, apply a little ethanol or IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) and rub it gently.
