WARNING! To prevent an electric shock, make sure that the printer is switched OFF and unplugged
before any cleaning is performed. Do NOT let any water get inside the printer.
1. Clean the outer surface of the printer with a damp sponge or cloth. Use a mild soap and water
solution if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
2. Wipe the printer dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
Cleaning the Drive Roller and Overdrive
CAUTION: If ink is spilled on the Overdrive, remove the ink immediately. Due to the ink's
reflectance, ink on the Overdrive can disrupt the printer's edge-sensing function. To remove any ink
from the Overdrive, perform the following procedure.
CAUTION: Prevent water or other liquids from running onto electrical components or circuits, or
through openings in the Electronics Module.
1. Perform the Turn Drive Roller Utility (Refer to Turn Drive Roller on page 105).
2. Open the window and apply any common household cleaning solution (water based only) to a
soft, lint-free rag and apply it to the Drive Roller and Overdrive surface while it is rotating. Make
sure that you thoroughly clean the Drive Roller and Overdrive surface.
3. Press OK when you have completed the cleaning procedure.
4. Allow the Drive Roller to dry before loading media into the printer.
Cleaning 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 Print Platen has become dirty and will leave marks on the back of the
paper if not cleaned.
It is recommended to clean the Print Platen on a regular basis (at least every few months or when
required) as follows:
1. Unload any media loaded from the printer.
2. Open the Window and with a dry brush remove ink deposits from the Cutter Groove and the Print
Platen surface.

3. Use a clean, absorbent lint-free cloth, dampened with Isopropyl Alcohol (not supplied in the
Maintenance Kit), to wipe loosened ink deposits from the Print Platen.
