The thermal head can be very hot after printing. Be careful not to touch it, and  
let it cool before you clean it.  
Do not damage the thermal head by touching it with your fingers or any hard object.  
1. Prepare a cleaning card.  
Note:  
Epson recommends KICTeam cleaning card. Please purchase it from KICTeam's web site.  
Model: KCTP2639 (For Baggage Tag)
