Maintenance
Cleaning the Print Head
Regular cleaning of the print head is crucial for maintaining print quality and extending the printer's lifespan. Use a soft, lint-free cloth lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Gently wipe the print head surface. Ensure the printer is turned off and cooled down before cleaning. Allow the print head to dry completely before resuming operation.
Replacing Thermal Paper
When the print output becomes faint or the paper roll is depleted, it's time to replace the thermal paper. Follow the "Loading Thermal Paper" steps in the Setup section to replace the roll.
Battery Care
To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the printer regularly, especially if it will be stored for an extended period. Store the printer in a cool, dry place.
