CAUTION:
Fingerprints can damage the thermal head, which looks like a
glass bar. Never touch it with your bare hands or fingers.

2. Slide the cover release toward you, then open the upper cover carefully.
IMPORTANT: Cover does not open beyond a 90° angle.

the head after you open the upper cover.

entire length of the thermal head, in one direction only. When you clean
the thermal head:
