Cleaning The Printing Heads; Cleaning The Media-Feed Rollers - Roland ColorCamm PC-12 User Manual

Cleaning the Printing Heads

The PC-12 automatically performs cleaning of the printing head. (The printing heads are automatically cleaned with the cleaning pads on the
front-left surface of the machine when an ink-ribbon cartridge is replaced.)
Automatic cleaning should normally be adequate.
Automatic cleaning removes ordinary grime, but when soiling is severe, the head cleaner included with the machine should be used to remove
it.
Use the method described below to perform cleaning using the head cleaner.
Cleaner fluid may spray out when the cap is opened. Do not open the cap over the platen.
NOTICE
If the platen is splattered, it may become discolored. (The cleaner fluid is nontoxic.)
Use the included head cleaner to remove grime from the edges of the printing heads.

Cleaning the Media-feed Rollers

Keep hands and hair away from the
platen when the carriage is in motion.
Sudden movement of the carriage when the
front cover is opened may cause injury.
NOTICE
Do not use volatile chemicals such as benzine or thinners. Doing so may cause deterioration.
Do not moisten any area inside the printer except for the media-feed rollers.
To maintain correct media feed, clean the media-feed rollers using rubbing alcohol (ethyl alcohol) and a cotton swab.
