Attaching and Removing the Connector Cover
These instructions apply if a connector cover is packed with your
printer to protect your cables. To attach it, follow the steps below:
1. First, connect all the cables. The connector
cover has three possible cable exits: on the
right, left, and back. Remove the tab for the
exit you want to use by breaking it off with
your fingers. See the illustration on the right.
Note:
Once you remove a tab, you cannot replace it.
2. After removing the tab, also remove any
protruding plastic, so that the edge is smooth and does not
damage the cables.
3. Position the two hooks on the connector cover so that they
hook the printer case, as shown on the left below.
4. Push the connector cover down to click onto the printer case.
To remove the connector cover, turn the printer over, insert a
flathead screwdriver under one hook, and pry up the hook while
lifting the connector cover. See the illustration on the right below.
Repeat this step for the other side.

Removing Jammed Paper
CAUTION:
Do not touch the print head because it can be very hot after printing.
1. Turn the printer off and press the cover open button.
2. Remove jammed paper, reinstall the roll, and close the cover.
3. If paper is caught in the cutter and you cannot open the printer
cover, open the cutter cover as shown on the left below.
4. Turn the knob until you see a triangle in the opening, as shown
on the right below. This returns the cutter blade to the normal
position. There is a label near the cutter to assist you.

5. Close the cutter cover.
6. Open the printer cover and remove the jammed paper.
Cleaning the Print Head
CAUTION:
After printing, the print head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it
and to let it cool before you clean it. Do not damage the print head by
touching it with your fingers or any hard object.
Turn off the printer, open the paper roll cover, and clean the
thermal elements of the print head with a cotton swab moistened
with an alcohol solvent (ethanol, methanol, or IPA).
EPSON recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically
(generally every 3 months) to maintain receipt print quality.
