5.6.2 Cleaning the Platen Roller

CAUTION

NEVER use a sharp object to clean the Platen.


Grit, adhesive, and ink buildup can cause a decline in print quality and, in extreme cases,

cause labels to stick and wrap around the roller. Clean the platen roller as follows:

A. Turn OFF and unplug the printer.

B. Open the access cover. Unlock the Printhead Latch and raise the Printhead Assembly.

Remove media and ribbon.

C. Using a Cotton Swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol clean the accessible portion of the

roller, and then manually rotate the roller to clean the remaining area. Allow the roller to

dry.

D. Replace ribbon and media.


E. Lower the Printhead Assembly and rotate the Printhead Latch completely back, to the

locked position.


F. Close the access cover. Plug in and turn ON the printer. Feed several labels to normalize

tracking.
