Cleaning the Platen Roller

Dirt and debris on the platen roller can make the roller feed paper into
the printer at an angle, degrade the quality of the printed image, or both.
1. Make sure the printer is off.
2. Set the Cleaning Mode to ON using DIP switch 4 as shown in Figure
17.
3. Press the main switch once quickly to turn the printer ON, and then
press the main switch once again quickly to start the printer platen
roller turning.
4. Insert the black cleaning cloth that came with the printer into the
printer's paper input slot with the rough black side, which contains
the cleaning material, towards the front of the printer. The printer
pulls the Cleaning Cloth through. See Figure 19.
