STEP4 Maintenance and Troubleshooting

52

Maintenance of the printer must be done as needed. However, some environments 

require that maintenance must 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 (separately available).

the printer contains only one cleaning sheet. To purchase additional cleaning sheets, 

refer to 

Î

"Accessories (For USA Only)" in page 58 as needed.

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

for this printer only.

If using other cleaning sheet, the surface of roller may be scratched or it may cause 

a malfunction.

Turn OFF the power of the printer.

Lift the both sides of lower part of 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.

Before cleaning the roller, it is necessary to remove 

the DK Roll. Otherwise, the roller cleaning function 

does not function normally.
