Cleaning the Drive Roller and Tear Bar
Cleaning the drive roller and tear bar preserves print quality by maintaining close
contact between the media and the printhead.
To clean the drive roller and tear bar
1. Turn the On/Off switch to the off position and remove the power cord.
2. Remove the media cover.
3. Rotate the head lift lever clockwise to release the printhead.
4. Remove the media and ribbon (if necessary).
5. Clean the drive roller by using a cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Move the
cloth over the drive roller in a side-to-side motion as shown. Make sure to rotate the
roller so that you can clean all areas.
Note: Rotating the TTR assist roller toward you enables you to clean the entire
drive roller surface.

Remove all traces of dust, paper, and adhesive.
7. Replace the media and ribbon.
8. Engage the printhead by turning the head lift lever counterclockwise until the
