Cleaning the Printer
Cleaning the Inside of the Printer
Remove dust on the head of the cartridge with the supplied cleaner unit.
1Remove the cartridge (p. 20).
2Insert the cleaner unit in the cartridge compartment and push it in 
completely and slide it in and out 2 or 3 times.
Cleaning the Printer Casing
Wipe the casing with a soft dry cloth.
Cleaning the Back of the Printer
Clean the dust from the air vents on the back. Dust will get on the ink sheet if it enters from the air 
vents, preventing the printer from printing cleanly. If dust becomes lodged on the ink sheet, use a 
blower brush to remove it so that you do not touch the ink sheet.
• Do not touch white parts of the cleaner as its performance may be affected.
• Never use volatile solvents such as benzine, paint thinner, or diluted neutral solvent. They may  cause deformation or peeling of the printers casing.
