Maintenance
5. Cleaning Only — Clean the platen with the alcohol moistened swab. Clean from the
center out. Repeat this process until all of the roller surface has been cleaned. If there
has been heavy adhesive build-up or label jam, repeat with a new swab to remove
residual contaminants. Adhesives and oils, for example, may be thinned by the initial
cleaning but not completely removed.
Important • LINERLESS PLATENS — Only use the adhesive side of a piece of linerless
media to gently lift the particles from the plater roller for cleaning.
6. Discard the cleaning swabs after use - do not reuse.
7. Make sure the bearings and drive gear are on the shaft of the platen roller.
8. Align the platen with the gear to the left and lower it into the printer’s bottom frame.
9. Rotate the platen bearing latch release tabs down on the right and left sides towards
the rear of the printer and snap them into place.
10. Allow the printer to dry for one minute before closing the dispenser door, media cover
or loading labels.
