1. Maintenance

In order to maintain the optimum performance of this printer and to prevent trouble, maintenance must be carried out

according to the following items.

1-1. Cleaning the Thermal Head and Platen

To ensure long-term and stable printing, periodically clean the thermal head and the platen. It is recommended

that you clean every 500,000 lines.

The thermal head and platen can be cleaned by opening the platen unit with the release lever.

•To clean the thermal head heating elements, wipe with a cotton swab dampened with an alcohol based cleaner

(such as ethanol or methanol). Also, do not apply excessive force when doing so. Wipe the heating elements

gently. After cleaning, check that the alcohol has completely evaporated before closing the platen unit.

•Use a soft, dry cotton swab to clean the platen. Wipe away the dirt while rotating the platen.

Also, complete wipe away all of the paper dust on the rubber platen. If the cleaning is incomplete, there may

be problems in paper feeds.

1-2. Handling Paper Jams

If recording paper should become jammed, open the platen unit and remove the jammed paper.

Never pull on the jammed paper unnecessary while the printer unit is closed because this can damage the drive

system parts.

Fig. 2-1 shows the locations to operate (levers/knob) when paper becomes jammed. Remove jammed paper

according to the following procedures.

Procedure 1. Remove the right and left lock levers.

2. Open the platen unit (including the presenter unit) using the release lever.

3. Rotate the knob to remove the jammed paper.

4. Close the platen unit (including the presenter unit) and lock the left and right lock levers.

Procedure 1. Open the platen unit using the release lever.

2. Rotate the knob to remove the jammed paper.

3. Close the platen unit. Check that it has been completely closed at this time.

Notes 1) Whenremovingthejammedpaper,nevermoveyouhandsnearthetearbarortheauto-cutterbecauseitisvery

dangerous. Also, when opening or closing the rotating portions, be careful not to get your hands or fingers

caught.

2) Whenlocking the cutter blades, do not forcefullyrotate the platen unit (or the presenterunit) because this can

be the cause of machine failure.

See the following pages for releasing the cutter lock and opening the platen unit.

3) Fig.2-1 is aconceptual view of amodel equipped witha presenter. On modelsnot equipped with apresenter,

operate only the release lever to open the platen unit.

2. Lubrication

Lubrication is very important to maintain optimum performance and to prevent trouble.

2-1. Lubricant

The type of lubricant greatly affects the performance and durability of the printer, especially in a low temperature

environment. We recommend use of the grease listed below for this printer.

Type of oil Product name Maker

Grease Molykote EM-30L Dow Corning Corporation

2-2. Lubricating Method

When lubrication is carried out in assembly and disassembly, wash parts well to remove dust and dirt before lubrication.

Lubrication must be carried out regularly once every 6 months or after 1 million lines have been printed. Lubrication is

necessary irrespective of the regular lubrication whenever lubricant becomes deficient after cleaning or whenever parts

have been disassembled or replaced.
