Clean the Platen
CAUTION: If wide paper is used to print after narrower paper is used for some time, you may find
that the left-hand side of the Center Platen has become dirty and will leave marks on the back of the
paper if not cleaned.
It is recommended to clean the Center Platen on a regular basis (at least every few months or when
required) as follows:
1. Unload any paper from the printer.
2. Open the Window and with a dry brush remove ink deposits from the Cutter Groove and the
Center Platen surface.

3. Use a clean, absorbent lint-free cloth, dampened with isopropyl alcohol, to wipe loosened ink
deposits from the Center Platen.
CAUTION: Do not:
●
Use commercial cleaners or abrasive cleaners.
●
Wet the Center Platen directly because you will leave too much moisture behind.
●
Wet the rubber wheels at all (not even with the cloth).
