Note: If you continue to use the printer without cleaning the encoder strip, the printer may not read the
print area accurately and print quality may decline.
1. Turn on the printer, if necessary.
2. Press the moveable base button to move the platen into the printer to the maintenance position.
Caution: Do not manually move the platen; otherwise, a malfunction may occur.
3. Turn off the printer and confirm that the LCD screen turns off.
4. Pour about 0.15 ounce (5 ml) of ink cleaner into the cup supplied with the maintenance kit, and then
let it soak into a wipe. Squeeze the wipe gently.
5. Wipe off any ink stains on the front and back, as shown. Gently squeeze the center of the encoder
strip between the wipe and wipe in each direction about two to three times. Wipe to the left edge just
before the print head carriage. Wipe to the right edge up to just before where the encoder strip
becomes transparent.
Note: You do not need to clean the sections covered by the print head.
