Miscellaneous Cleaning the Interior If defects such as white stripes and speckled scratches begin to appear in printouts, you may need to clean the thermal head and rollers. To prevent such occurrences, we recommend regular cleaning of the thermal head and rollers using the printing pack replacement cycle (when one printing pack runs out) as a reference. Cleaning the thermal head is effective in removing white stripes, while cleaning the rollers is effective in removing speckled scratches.
