Cleaning the Roll Unit

Clean the printer regularly to maintain better printing quality and help prevent problems.

About once a month, clean the roll unit to ensure optimal operation.

Important

  • When the sensor of the feed slot is dirty, the printer might not perform auto feeding properly. Even if the sensor seems clean, we recommend cleaning it because it may have paper dust on it.
  1. Remove any roll paper loaded in roll unit.

  2. Turn printer off.

  3. Unplug power cord from outlet.

    Caution

    • Always turn off the printer and unplug the power cord before cleaning or maintenance. Accidentally leaving the printer on poses a risk of injury if you touch moving parts inside the printer.
  4. Wipe away any residue and paper dust from areas (A, B) that come in contact with paper and sensor (C) with a thoroughly wrung out damp cloth, and wipe dry with a dry cloth.

    Warning

    • Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these substances come into contact with electrical components inside the roll unit, there is a risk of fire or electrical shock.
  5. Plug power cord into outlet.
