3. Clean the platen roller when you see significant
adhesive build-up or a label is wrapped around the
platen roller. Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a
toothbrush, to clean either the standard (black) or
linerless (red/orange textured) platen roller.
If the brush does not remove all the adhesive
♦ use isopropyl alcohol ONLY on the standard (black) platen
roller.
Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and run the
cotton swab across the platen roller. Turn the platen roller
with your finger to make sure the platen roller is clean all
the way around.
After cleaning, feed several inches of supply through
without printing to remove any remaining isopropyl
alcohol.
♦ call Service to clean the linerless (red/orange textured)
platen roller.
Note: Do not use alcohol or solvents on linerless
(red/orange textured) platen rollers.
4. Rub the cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol
across the peel bar and remove any build-up.
5. Moisten another cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol. Rub
the cotton swab across the printhead and remove any
build-up. You may need to use a printhead CLEAN-STRIP
if the printhead is extremely dirty or you see streaks on
the supply.
