Cleaning the Thermal Head
Epson recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 3 months) to
maintain thermal printing quality.
CAUTION:
The thermal head can be very hot after printing. Be careful not to 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.
Turn off the product, open the roll paper cover, and clean the thermal elements of the
thermal head with a cotton swab moistened with an alcohol solvent (ethanol or IPA). (See
illustration N.)
Cleaning the MICR Head
When the MICR head becomes dirty, the product cannot read the magnetic ink characters
normally.
Clean the MICR head every 6 months or every 100,000 passes by setting the following
cleaning sheet in the same way as cut sheet paper. (See "Inserting Cut Sheet Paper" on
page 18.)
