Cleaningtheplatenroller

After prolonged use, the platen roller picks up fibres from the paper passing above it. These fine fibres collect and compact on portions of the platen roller, creating bumps. The uneven surface of the roller may cause the printhead to contact the passing paper unevenly, producing a blotchy or faded plot.

Clean the platen roller when it appears dirty, or after approximately three rolls of paper or film have been plotted.

Lightly wipe the roller with a soft, lint-free cloth moistened in 99% pure isopropyl alcohol, turning the roller as necessary to remove paper fragments and dust.
