Cleaning the Printer

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.

Cleaning the Thermal Head

Epson recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 3 months) to

maintain receipt print quality.

Turn off the printer, 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).

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.

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.
