Cleaning the Platen Roller
It is recommended that the platen roller should be cleaned when:
•
Excessive dusty condition exists.
•
Following a media jam where the adhesive comes in contact with it.
•
Because of the squeezing process of feeding the media the roller can become sticky
from the adhesive being pressed out from behind the label.
1. Turn off the printer and open the top cover.
2. Lift the print head module to the vertical position.
3. Rub the full length of the platen available with a piece of cotton, which has been
moistened with Isopropyl Alcohol.
4. Manually rotate the platen and repeat step 3 until the entire platen has been cleaned.

2. Remove paper dust by blowing using compressed air or vacuuming.
3. Clean the two Paper Sensor LED's with cotton stick, which has been moistened with
Isopropyl Alcohol. Sensor is located in the small slot that is movable from side to side.
