MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Platen and Exit Rollers

Clean the platen and rollers about once a month to remove excess ink. Use

the platen cleaner recommended by your supplier and proceed as follows:

1. Apply a small amount of platen cleaner to a soft cloth. Avoid

spilling platen cleaner inside the printer.

CAUTION

Do not use alcohol to clean the platen. Alcohol may cause the

rubber to harden.

2. Place the cloth against the platen and manually rotate the platen

knob.

3. To dry the platen, place a dry cloth against the platen and manually

rotate the platen knob.

4. Gently wipe the rollers using the cloth moistened with the platen

cleaner. Dry the rollers using a dry cloth.

There are two ways of replacing the ribbon. You can install a new ribbon

cartridge in the printer or refill the old ribbon cartridge with new ribbon from

a ribbon subcassette. Appendix A lists order numbers for ribbon cartridges

and ribbon subcassettes. The following procedure is for ribbon cartridges.

For ribbon subcassettes, refer to the instructions shipped with the

subcassette.

To replace the ribbon cartridge:

1. Turn off the printer.

2. Open the front cover of the printer. For easy installation, slide the

print head carriage to a position where it does not face a roller.

CAUTION

The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
