What are the cleaning sheets for? When do I use them?

Occasionally lint or dirt from the roller may become stuck on the print head and cause poor print quality, white lines or streaks. If this occurs, use the cleaning sheets to clean the roller.

 

  1. Press and hold the ON/OFF button (power) to turn the machine off.
     
  2. Hold the machine by the front, and firmly lift the DK Roll compartment cover to open it.
