Cleaning the platen

The platen becomes dirty when paper particles or ink
stick to it. We recommend cleaning the platen once a
month because the paper will become dirty if there is ink
stuck to the platen.
Perform cleaning more frequently depending on the
environment and paper being used.
Read the following before starting this procedure.

Maintenance
C
Open the printer cover and use a soft, clean cloth
to carefully clean away any dust or dirt inside the
printer.
Thoroughly clean area (a), shown in blue in the
illustration below. To avoid spreading the dirt,
wipe from the inside to the outside. If there is a
serious dirt problem, clean it using a soft, clean
cloth dampened with a mild detergent. Then,
wipe the inside of the printer with a dry, soft
cloth.

Important:
❏ Be sure not to touch the roller or the ink
absorbing areas (b, shown in gray) during
cleaning; otherwise, prints may be soiled.

the printer, otherwise, the printer may be
damaged.

powder) accumulates on the platen, use
something like a cocktail stick to push it in.
