Replacing The Optional Linerless Platen Roller - SATO FX3-LX Operator's Manual

Replacing the Optional Linerless Platen Roller

You can easily remove and replace a damaged or worn linerless platen roller.
• Do not connect or disconnect the power cord while your hands are wet. Doing so could
cause an electric shock.
• Disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet or remove the optional battery before
you replace the consumable parts.
Guideline to Replace the Linerless Platen Roller
The linerless platen roller has a blue striped marking on the center. When the blue striped marking
started to fade off, it indicates that you should replace the linerless platen roller.
• This is only a general guideline. The condition in which the linerless platen roller wears
out varies depending on the used media. In any cases, replace the worn linerless
platen roller when it affected the printing quality of the printer.
1. Make sure that the printer is powered off, and disconnect the power cord from the
AC outlet or remove the optional battery.
2. Press the cover open button (1) to open the top cover (2).
3. Remove the media if it is already loaded.
