Cleaning Using the Cleaning Sheet (Option)

The cleaning procedure using the cleaning sheet is as follows:

If the print quality is blurry even though you have used the cleaning products to clean the product, try using a cleaning sheet to clean it.

1.	Make sure that the product is powered off, and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

2.	Turn the hand valve (1) to the left (air circuit off).

3.	Use your hands to pull out the cylinder (2).

4.	Open the front cover (3).

• Open the front cover fully to its limit.

5.	Open the head lock lever (4) to release the print head's lock.

• The print head and its surroundings are hot after printing. Be careful not to get burned. • Touching the edge of the print head with your bare hand could cause injury.

6.	Remove the media and ribbon if they are already loaded.

7.	Place the cleaning sheet (7) between the print head (5) and the platen roller (6).

• Align the rough side of the cleaning sheet adjacent to the print head.

8.	Close the head lock lever (4) to lock the print head.

9.	Using two hands, pull the cleaning sheet (7) away from the product.

10.	After you pull out the cleaning sheet, repeat steps 7 through 9, two or three more times.

When no more dirt appears on the cleaning sheet after you have pulled it out, stop repeating these steps.

11.	Open the head lock lever (4) to release the print head's lock.

12.	Use cleaning products to remove any dirt stuck to the print head (5).

13.	Load the media and ribbon back if you remove them in step 6.

14.	Close the head lock lever (4) to lock the print head.

15.	Close the front cover (3).

• When closing the front cover, be careful not to pinch your fingers.

16.	Use your hands to return the cylinder (2).

• When returning the cylinder, be careful that you do not pinch your hands between the cylinder cover and the label suction plate.

17.	Turn the hand valve (1) to the right (air circuit on).
