Cleaning the Thermal Print Head
Caution: Do not spray or try to clean the thermal print head or the inside of the printer
with any kind of cleaner as this may damage the thermal print head and electronics.
If the thermal print head appears dirty, wipe it with cotton swabs and isoprophl alcohol.
If spotty or light printing problems persist after the thermal print head has been cleaned,
see “Chapter 3: Solving Problems” for more information.
Note: The thermal print head does not normally require cleaning if the recommended
paper grades are used. If non-recommended paper has been used for an extended period
of time, cleaning the print head with cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol will not be of much
benefit. See “Ordering Paper and Supplies” earlier in this manual for recommended paper.
