4.3 CLEANING THE PRINT HEAD, PLATEN AND ROLLERS (CONT'D)
Cleaning the Platen and Paper Roller
1. Before starting, get ready an approved cleaning kit from
your SATO dealer or the kit supplied with the printer.
Make sure the printer is OFF, and remove the power
cable.
2. Lift up the Top Cover.
3. The platen roller is the black rubber roller near the front
panel. The print rollers are located at the print head
assembly, near the fanfold-label loading window.
4. Wet some cotton swabs with cleaning solution. While
rotating the platen roller with your fingers, clean the
entire length of the roller using one or more cotton
swabs. The roller should be cleaned of any label or
adhesive residue.
5. Repeat the whole cleaning process if necessary. The
platen and rollers should be cleaned whenever foreign
matter such as dust or adhesive is present.
