The BBP 85 printer is equipped with special wipers designed to keep the ribbon
and tape supplies as clean as possible to ensure high-quality output.
To maintain quality output, you should replace the wiper pads after using
approximately five (5) rolls of ribbon or tape. Some replacement pads are
provided with your system and you can purchase additional pads from your
distributor.
