5-4 Other Cleaning Tasks
The machine and the inside of the front cover may become soiled with ink during printing. The cleaning methods de-
scribed below let you continue printing without affecting the printed media or the machine.
Cleaning the Body
Use a cloth moistened with water then wrung well, and wipe gently to clean. Wipe the operation panel and display gently
with a clean, soft cloth.
Cleaning the Platen
Moisten a cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry, and wipe gently.
For buildup of cutting dust on the platen, use a commercially available brush to brush them away toward the front. When
doing this, do not use a metal brush.
Cleaning the Grit Rollers
Use a commercially available brush to remove dust and other detritus.
Any adhering grime may prevent the media from being held in place securely.
Cleaning the Pinch Rollers
Moisten a cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry, and wipe gently.
Cleaning the Front Cover
Use a cloth moistened with water then wrung well, and wipe gently to clean.
Cleaning the Media Clamps
If there is buildup of ink or dust, moisten a cloth with neutral detergent diluted with water, wring dry, and gently wipe the
surface.
When cleaning the unit, be sure to wait approximately 30 minutes or more after switching off the power
until the temperature of the platen falls sufficiently.
Doing so may cause burns because the platen is hot.
Never clean with solvents (such as benzine or thinners).
Doing so may cause fire.
• When carrying out any cleaning other than cleaning using cleaning sticks, switch off the main power. Before turning off the
main power, press the [POWER] key to switch off the sub power.
• Never lubricate the mechanisms.
• Periodically clean the platen, grit rollers, and media clamps.
• Do not touch the print heads or allow the print heads to come in contact with anything except ink.
