Cleaning The Platen Roller - Sony UP-X898MD Instructions For Use Manual

Cleaning the Platen Roller

When the surface of the platen roller gets dirty, the paper
will not be fed smoothly, resulting in paper jams and
inconsistent print quality. Press the power ON/OFF
switch to on, and then press the FEED button for about
one second to feed some more paper out of the unit. It is
likely that the roller is getting dirty if the paper is easily
pulled out by the hand.
Clean the platen roller using a soft cloth moistened with
a 76.9 to 81.4 v/v% concentration of ethanol when it
becomes dirty.

Note
Be careful not to let the surface of the paper touch
the other objects. Failure to do so may cause
defective printings because of the dirt on the paper.
