Thermal Printer not printing properly

(1/2) > >>

bigdps:
The original owner of my slot  had the printer disconnected since the ice age. I decided to reconnect it this week and when I print, there are spots missing in the characters. I have printed maybe 6 tickets so far and it is getting better. Is there a simple way to clean the thermal heads without any special tools or items? Think about MacGyver type of deal.... :24:

cowboygames:
Little glass cleaner on a qtip works for me. Get cleaner that has no ammonia and make sure it's air dried before use. Your thermal ticket paper may be old also, but give cleaning it a try.

bigdps:
I just did the qtip thing and it improved beyond belief! And yes the paper does look old as well. Will have to get new paper for sure. Really love the help of this site. Thanks!

cowboygames:
Glad you got it going, good luck!

 like to use a SUZOHAPP MAG STRIPE READER CLEANING CARD part no. 29-1009-30. If you let the printer grab it but bully it back out so it doesn't go all the way through and do that 4-5 times. I get crystal clear prints everytime.
