Cleaning the Platen
The Printer's Platen Roller should be cleaned approximately every 250 prints. (Note:
This helps prevent jams and maintain the best print quality. Perform this procedure if the
roller is visibly dirty.)
Step Procedure
1 Leave the power ON and open the Printer's Top cover and Print Station.
2 Remove the print ribbon.
3 Locate the Platen Roller.
4 Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning Kit to wipe the roller clean.
Press the FWD and REV buttons to move the roller back and forth while
cleaning.
5 After the roller is clean and completely dry, replace the printing supplies and
close the Printer.
