Cleaning the Paper Roll Print Head
After printing, the print head can be very hot. Be careful not to touch it
and to let it cool before you clean it. Do not damage the print head by
touching it with your fingers or any hard object.
Turn off the printer, open the paper roll cover, and clean the
thermal elements of the print head with a cotton swab moistened
with an alcohol solvent (ethanol, methanol, or IPA).
EPSON recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically
(generally every 3 months) to maintain receipt print quality.
Cleaning the Optional MICR Mechanism
Clean the MICR head and MICR roller every 6000 passes or once a
month.
Note:
If you encounter frequent MICR reading errors, use one of the following
methods.
For the MICR head
Use a moistened cleaning sheet, such as PRESAT brand (KIC)
"Check Reader Cleaning Card" or an equivalent commercially
available cleaning sheet.
For the MICR feed roller
Use an adhesive cleaning sheet available from EPSON. Contact
your dealer.
