Cleaning and Maintenance
If you encounter issues such as blank lines, blurry print, or missing words, it may be caused by dirt on the Print Head. Please follow these steps:
1. If you have just finished printing, wait for at least 30 minutes for the Print Head to cool down completely.
2. Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or a dry alcohol-soaked cotton ball to gently wipe the Rubber Roller and the Print Head left and right 5 times each, removing dust and stains from the surfaces.
3. Wait 5-10 minutes for the alcohol to evaporate completely before closing the Top Cover and completing the cleaning process. You may now continue using the printer.
