Fingerprints or dust on the thermal head will degrade the print quality.

extremely hot. Otherwise you may get burned or injured.

• Note that the thermal head is quite sensitive to static electricity.
When you touch the thermal head while carrying static electricity
on your body, the thermal head may be damaged.
