Cleaning The Platen Roller; Cleaning The Scanner Flex Cable - Monarch Pathfinder 6039 Quick Start Manual

Cleaning the Platen
Roller
Clean the platen roller when
you see significant
adhesive build-up or when a
label is wrapped around the
platen roller.
1. Turn off the printer and open the supply cover.
2. Remove the supplies. See "Removing Supplies" in
Chapter 3 for more information.
3. Hold the printer upright and gently press down on the
label deflector. It may be stiff.
4. Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, to
clean the platen roller.
5. Turn the platen roller with your finger and then continue
cleaning.
6. Reload the supplies, close the label deflector and
supply cover.
If the brush does not remove all the adhesive, moisten a
cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and run the cotton swab
across the platen roller. Turn the platen roller with your
finger to make sure it is clean all the way around. After
cleaning, feed several inches of supply through without
printing to remove any remaining isopropyl alcohol.
