The instructions in this guide are not only for producing


high quality printing results, but also to prevent the Printing
Head from being damaged. Please read this guide carefully
to perform the cleaning periodically.
1 - Clean the sheet and Cleaning Pad
Make sure to clean the sheet every time before printing.
Dust or oil on the surface of the sheet could result in poor printing results. Also, particles
of hard materials such as sand could result in damage to the printing head.

Pull out the amount to be used for printing.


This can be done easily if you set the sheet on the PC-60
after powering it off.

Wipe the surface of the sheet strongly with the cloth soaked
up with alcohol to remove dust and oil.
Please use a cloth which produces less fiber dust.
Make sure not to put alcohol on the PLATEN.

Check and make sure that the CLEANING PAD is not dirty.
If there is dust, please remove it with a brush.

5 - Store the sheet

Keep the roll sheet inside the vinyl bag when it is not
being used. Try to avoid dust from sticking to the surface
of the sheet as much as possible.

Do not lay the sheet down.


When the sheet is laid down without putting it inside
the vinyl, dust can stick to the sheet and result in damage
to the head.
