3.1.4 Cleaning a Platen Roller

Clean the platen roller when replenishing a bin with documents. Use a cotton swab moist- ened with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use thinner or benzene.

Note!

Be careful not to injure your hands if you clean the platen roller yourself. Using thinner or benzene to clean the platen roller will damage the roller. A dirty platen roller lowers printing clarity.

The following explains how to clean the platen roller. Before cleaning the platen roller, remove the transfer ribbon. (See the "Changing Transfer Ribbons" section.)

The platen roller should be cleaned with a swab containing isopropyl alcohol. The platen roller is located below the thermal head.

1. Rub the cleaning swab back and forth across the top of the roller located directly under the print head.

2. Rotate the blue feed knob (located to the left of this roller) and repeat the cleaning motion so the entire roller is cleaned.

CAUTION

Avoid fire when using isopropyl alcohol to reduce the risk of burning.

Although the cleaning frequency depends on the operating conditions (quality of the paper media used, dusty atmosphere, etc.), you should clean the thermal head at least once every 5,000 documents.
