5.3.1
Guideline to Replace the Linerless Platen Roller (CL4NX Only)
The linerless platen roller has a blue striped marking 
on the left side. When the blue striped marking started 
to fade off, it indicates that you should replace the 
linerless platen roller.
This is only a general guideline, the condition of the 
platen roller wears out varies depending on the used 
media. In any cases, replace the worn platen roller 
when it affected the printing quality of the printer.
