Cleaning Cleaning the Printer Case To clean the printer case, wipe the dirt off the printer case with a dry cloth or a damp cloth. Be sure to turn off the printer before cleaning. Never clean the product with alcohol, benzine, thinner, or other such solvents. Doing so may damage or break the parts made of plastic and rubber. Head Cleaning Perform a print head cleaning only when the printout is faint or dots are missing. Head cleaning can be performed using two methods; the CLEANING button, or the printer driver. Do not turn off the printer or open the roll paper cover or the ink cartridge cover. When ink is low, head cleaning may not start or may stop during cleaning.
In this case, head cleaning starts after a new ink cartridge is installed. When head cleaning is performed continuously, the printer may stop operating for approximately a minute at a maximum to protect the motor from the heat. The printer restarts operating after the motor cools down. 98
