6. Slightly dampen the used cloth with 95% ethanol to wipe the remaining dry ink deposits from the
platen.
NOTE: 95% ethanol is not provided in the User Maintenance Kit.
CAUTION: Ethanol is highly flammable. Observe the manufacturer’s safety precautions.
CAUTION: Do not use commercial cleaners or abrasive cleaners. Do not wet the platen directly,
because you will leave too much moisture behind, which could damage the substrate advance sensor.
7. Use the damp cloth to remove remaining dry ink deposits from the cutter ramp.
8. Use a dry cloth to clean the exposed part of the wheels. Ideally, you should clean the entire
circumference of these wheels.
9. Remove the 95% ethanol and the cloth from the vicinity of the printer.
10. Wait 3 or 4 minutes to let the ethanol evaporate, before turning on the printer and reloading the
substrate.
11. With a 1 mm diameter pin ensure that the vacuum holes are not obstructed, especially the holes that
are covered by the most-used substrate sizes.
Clean after porous substrates
If you print on a porous substrate (through which ink can pass), you should clean the platen immediately
after each printing session. Do not, for instance, leave the printer overnight or load a new roll without
cleaning the platen first.
