E. CLEANING THE PLATEN ROLLER
The Platen Roller rests just underneath the Print head when the printer's Top
Cover is closed. During printing, print media is wrapped tightly around this roller
in order to maintain consistent print registration.
Periodically clean the printer's Platen Roller if you notice excess dust or debris
accumulation on the roller or if feeding problems or print media jams occur. Also
perform this procedure if you notice any ink on the Platen Roller. Use the
following steps to clean this roller.
1. Open the printer's Top Cover by pressing the Cover Release Button.
2. Remove the Ribbon Cartridge from the printer.
3. Locate the Platen Roller. It is the long, black rubber roller in the center of the
printer's interior.
4. Use a Cleaning Pad from the Printer Cleaning Kit or a soft, lint-free cloth
5. Slightly moistened with isopropyl alcohol to thoroughly wipe the roller clean.
While wiping, use the Cancel button of the Printer controls to rotate the roller.
Be extremely careful not to let any alcohol drip inside the printer's case!
6. After the roller is clean and completely dry, replace the Ribbon Cartridge and
close the printer's cover.
