Cleaning the Inside of the Printer

If stripes, scratches, or other marks begin to appear on
prints, cleaning the inside of the printer may solve the
problem. Cleaning the inside of the printer is especially
effective in removing white stripes and scratches like those
shown in the figure.

White stripes tend to appear when using 5-inch wide print
packs after printing a large quantity of prints with a
2PIX46 print pack. Also, if foreign particles become
affixed to the thermal head, white stripes or scratches may
begin to appear. When this happens, use the cleaning
cartridge supplied with the printer and the cleaning sheet
supplied with the printing pack to clean the inside of the
printer.
The cleaning cartridge can be used repeatedly.

button.
Remove the paper from the back side of the cleaning
sheet (the side without an illustration).
Be careful not to confuse the back and front sides of
the cleaning sheet.
Determine by the width of the print paper the
orientation to affix the cleaning sheet, and affix the
cleaning sheet evenly and squarely onto the ejected
paper as illustrated.
When using the 2PIX46 printing pack, orient the
cleaning sheet lengthwise rather than crosswise.
Firmly affix the entire cleaning sheet so that the
corners do not peel up and the center is not raised. If
the corners of the cleaning sheet peel up, cleaning may
not be performed properly.
Remove the paper from the front side of the cleaning
sheet.
