Roland TrueVIS VG2-540 - Cleaning the Machine; Cleaning the Media Path

Cleaning the Media Path
Wipe away any ink or grime on the media path and other areas as part of the daily cleaning procedure. It is easy
for ink or grime to ax to the media path, and, if le unaended, this will contaminate new media and have a
negave eect on the transport of media when it is output. Pinch rollers, grit rollers, and the platen are parcular-
ly prone to the buildup of grime.
WARNING
Never use a solvent such as gasoline, alcohol, or thinner to perform cleaning.
Doing so may cause re.
CAUTION
Before aempng cleaning, switch o the sub power and wait unl the heater and dryer
cool (approximately 30 minutes).
Sudden movement of the machine may cause injury, or hot components may cause burns.

Pinch roller
These are the posions where the media is xed in place or transported, so it is easy for ink and grime
to ax to these posions. Failure to clean this part properly may result in the transfer of grime to the
surface of media.
Grit roller These are the posions where the media is xed in place or transported, so it is easy for grime to ax
to these posions. Remove buildup of media scraps and other material using a brush. Never use a
metal brush.
