Ink Ribbon and Paper

15

Be sure to turn off the power of the printer before 
cleaning.

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft dry 
cloth, or a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild 
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent, such 
as alcohol or benzine, which may damage the finish.

Clean the thermal head with the thermal head cleaning 
cartridge (supplied) if the printout quality deteriorates, 
for example, when the white stripes begin to appear on 
the printout.
It is recommended that you clean the thermal head after 
every 10 packs of paper to keep the printout quality at its 
best.

Remove the paper tray and remove the paper.

Place the cleaning sheet in the paper tray so that the 
shiny surface faces down.

• Be sure to use the cleaning sheet supplied with 

the UPC-21L/21S color printing pack.

• Do not reuse the old cleaning sheet.

Load the cleaning cartridge into the ribbon 
compartment.
Immediately after you load the paper tray with the 
cleaning sheet and cleaning cartridge, the RIBBON 
indicator goes off and the printer starts cleaning the 
thermal head automatically.
When the printer has completed cleaning the 
thermal head, the RIBBON indicator goes on again.

When you load the cleaning cartridge into the ink 
ribbon compartment with the printer’s power on, 
the printer starts cleaning.
If the printer is not turned on, even though you turn 
on the power after loading the cleaning cartridge, 
the printer will not start cleaning.

Both paper and an ink ribbon are necessary for printing. 
Use the ink ribbon with the paper contained in the same 
package.
