Note: If the printer is powered on, and the front cover is opened, the print head holder will move automatically to the center which may cause injury or damage.
Note: When cleaning the printer, do not touch the shaft, or the film. If the grease stuck to the shaft spreads to other parts or the film is touched, it may cause damage to the printer. If you touch the grease, wash your hands before you continue cleaning.
