3.1.5 Cleaning a Carrier Roller

Paper dust and other dirt clinging to a carrier roller can cause a paper jam or poor printing (ex. data can be printed at a slant on the paper).

The procedure for cleaning the carrier roller is explained as illustrated below. The carrier roller should be cleaned while the side cover remains open.

rollers thoroughly.

5. To remove the sheet, turn the

blue knob counter-clockwise

while gently pulling the exposed

sheet until the sheet completely

exits the front of the printer.

The carrier rollers should be cleaned every 5000 coupons or if the printer performance degrades (jams, print quality, roller slipping, etc.). The long, thin cleaning sheet is used for cleaning carrier rollers, (not the card with the printed label which is used to clean the magnetic heads).

CAUTION

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