Chapter 4 Handling Removing Jammed Roll Paper When a roll paper jam occurs, never pull out the paper forcibly. Turn off the printer,open the roll paper cover, and remove the jammed paper. CAUTION Do not touch the thermal head (See"Cleaning the Printer" on page 106.) because it can be very hot - Epson TM-H6000IV with Validation | Technical Reference Guide - Page 106
, thinner, or other such solvents. Doing so may damage or break the parts made of plastic and rubber. Cleaning the Thermal Head Epson recommends cleaning the thermal head periodically (generally every 3 months) to maintain receipt print quality. CAUTION • After printing, the thermal head can be - Epson TM-H6000IV with Validation | Technical Reference Guide - Page 107
sheet only one time; then discard it. You can also perform MICR head cleaning with the TM-H6000IV Utility. For detailed information about the TM-H6000IV Utility, see the TM-H6000IV Utility User's Manual. 1 Install the roll paper.

by an APD other than Ver. 4.00 ~ 4.04, you can replace it with the TM-H6000IV without modifying the APD. OPOS ADK If the TM-H6000III was controlled by an OPOS ADK, you can replace it with the TM-H6000IV without modifying the OPOS ADK. Two-Color Printing You cannot perform two-color receipt printing - Epson TM-H6000IV with Validation | Technical Reference Guide - Page 112
