16.4 Cleaning the Printer Head
______________________________________________________________
NOTE
Do not use organic solvents such as thinner or benzene, which
could discolor or deform the product.
After using alcohol, be sure that the printer is completely dry
before operating it.
After extended use, paper residue (visible as a white powder-like
substance) may accumulate on the roller. While a small amount
of residue has no adverse effect, the roller can be cleaned using
a air-blow brush (such as sold as a camera accessory).
Always use the paper cutter integrated in the printer cover to cut
printer paper. If the paper is cut near the thermal head, a large
amount of paper residue may accumulate on the roller.
16.4 Cleaning the Printer Head
The maintenance of the 8992 PRINTER UNIT (option) is
not especially required. However, depending upon the
conditions of use, and especially if the printer has been
used over a long period of time, it is possible for dirt or
paper dust to adhere to the printer thermal head, causing
the printing to be faint or otherwise indistinct. If this
occurs, use one of the following procedures to clean the
printer head.
Method 1
1. Press the
SYSTEM
button to call up the Initialize Screen.
2. Move the flashing cursor to the "Printer" item.
3. Press the
button to clean the print head by printing a
solid pattern.
4. If this method does not alleviate the problem, perform the
steps of cleaning method 2 as described below.
Method 2
1. Moisten printer paper on the rear with alcohol and set the
paper in the printer. (If the front side of the paper is
moistened, discoloring will occur.)
2. Lower the head up/down lever and move the printer paper
back and forth to clean the head.
