Occasionally, specks of dust or dirt become attached to the machine's print head and rollers. This is particularly likely when you are using the unit outdoors or in a very dusty environment. If a section of the print head is covered with dust, a blank horizontal streak may appear through the label message. Therefore, as with a tape recorder, the machine's head may need to be cleaned from time to time. TO CLEAN THE PRINT HEAD: (1) Turn off the machine. (2) Open the tape compartment cover and remove the tape cassette. The print head and rollers are located in the tape compartment. (3) Print head: Use a dry cotton swab to gently wipe the print head with an up- and-down motion. Rollers: Use a dry cotton swab to wipe each roller with an up-and-down motion while rotating them with your finger. (4) Try printing again. If dust still remains: (5) Repeat step (3) using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol. If none of the above works, contact you service representative. 16
