11. DAILY MAINTENANCE

11. DAILY MAINTENANCE
Please clean the machine every day after the business hour finished so that you can always obtain
satisfactory performance of the machine. Since the print head and the platen easily get dirty, cleaning
is recommended whenever the media is replaced.
1. Do not pour water over the scale or wipe it with soaked cloth. If water enters into the machine
inside, a fire or electric shock may occur.
2. Be sure to turn off the power before cleaning. Failure to do this may cause a fire or electric shock.
3. Do not use thinner or benzine for cleaning, as this may cause a fire.
4. Do not touch the print head or around it just after printing. You may get burned as the print head
becomes very hot during printing.
CAUTION!
1. Do not use a sharp object for cleaning the print head or platen. Doing so may damage them,
causing a print failure or machine failure.
2. Do not use thinner or benzine for cleaning. Doing so may cause a print failure, machine failure, or
discoloration.
3. Do not touch the print head element, as static electricity may damage the print head.
4. Care must be taken not to give excessive pressure or shock to the platter and operation panel.
Doing so may cause a machine failure.
5. Do not scratch or damage the operation panel with a sharp or hard object. Doing so may cause a
machine failure.
