Cleaning The Platen Roller - Paxar Monarch series Operator's Handbook 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:
♦ use isopropyl alcohol ONLY on the platen roller. 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.
