Cleaning the Printer Chapter 4 Handling Cleaning the Printer Case Be sure to unplug the AC cable from the wall socket and turn off the printer before cleaning. Wipe the dirt off the printer case with a dry cloth or a damp cloth. Never clean the product with alcohol, benzine, thinner, or other such solvents. Doing so may damage or break the parts made of plastic and rubber. Cleaning the Thermal Head Epson recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 3 months) to 4 maintain receipt print quality. CAUTION  After printing, the thermal head can be very hot. Do not touch it and let it cool before you clean it.  Do not damage the thermal head by touching it with your fingers or any hard object. 1 Hold down the Unload () button until the paper starts feeding backward. 2 After paper feeding stops, remove the paper by pulling it backward. 3 Turn off the printer. 59
