4. Adjust Deepness:
   • Press Deepness I for lighter stencil transfers.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the machine with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Internal Cleaning: Periodically open the top cover and gently clean any dust or paper residue from the paper path and around the thermal print head using a soft brush or compressed air. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
• Thermal Print Head (TPH): The TPH is a sensitive component. Avoid touching it directly. If an error occurs due to overheating, allow the machine to cool down completely before resuming operation.
