Maintenance

Maintenance of the printer may be carried out as required. However, some environments may require more frequent maintenance (for example, dusty environments).

Clean the Printer (Exterior)

  • Wipe any dust and marks from the printer's exterior using a soft, dry cloth. Use a cloth slightly damp with water on difficult to remove marks.
    IMPORTANT
    Do not use paint thinner, benzene, alcohol, or any other organic solvent. These may deform or damage the printer.

Clean the Print Head

  • Wipe the print head with a lint-free cloth dipped in isopropyl alcohol or ethanol. Carry out the maintenance frequently.
