< ! Ordinary Maintenance >
1. Make sure to maintain the equipment after switching OFF the power .
2. When cleaning the platen of printer mechanism, wipe out the dirty portion by a cotton pad dipped into
ethyl alcohol.
3. When cleaning the surface of the main unit case, use soft cloth.
In case the dirty portion can not be cleared out by the soft cloth, use wet cloth squeezed tightly. Absolutely do not use thinners, trichlene, benzine or ketone group solvents, or chemical-impregnated cleaning cloths.
4. In case the print head becomes dirty because of paper dust, clean it by using a soft brush.
! Cautions : Do not carry out the maintenance right after printing, since print head and motor are so hot.
