Maintena nce and Troubles hooting

Maintenance of the printer needs only to be done when required. However, some

environments will require that maintenance should be done more frequently (e.g. in dusty

conditions).

The DK Roll (thermal recording paper type) used with the printer is designed to clean the

print head automatically. When the DK Roll passes the print head during printing and

label feeding, the print head is cleaned.

Clean the roller using the cleaning sheet (available separately).

The printer contains only one cleaning sheet.

When doing maintenance on the roller, be sure to use the cleaning sheet supplied

exclusively for this printer.

If using other cleaning sheets, the surface of the roller may be damaged and may

cause a malfunction.

Turn OFF the printers power.

Lift both sides of the lower part of the DK Roll

cover on the front side of the printer to open

the cover.

Pull up the roll release lever and remove the

DK Roll.

Be sure to remove the DK Roll before cleaning the

roller. The roller cleaning function will not operate

correctly if the DK Roll is not removed.
