Cleaning the Platen and Paper Bail Rollers

 

Clean the platen and paper bail rollers about once a month to remove

 

excess ink. Use the platen cleaner recommended by your supplier

 

and proceed as follows:

 

1.

Apply a small amount of platen cleaner to a soft cloth. Avoid

 

 

spilling platen cleaner inside the printer.

 

 

CAUTION

 

 

Do not use alcohol to clean the platen. Alcohol may cause the

 

 

rubber to harden.

 

2.

Place the cloth against the platen and manually rotate the

 

 

platen knob.

 

3.

To dry the platen, place a dry cloth against the platen and

 

 

manually rotate the platen knob.

 

4.

Gently wipe the paper bail rollers using the cloth moistened

 

 

with the platen cleaner. Dry the rollers using a dry cloth.

REPLACING THE RIBBON

There are two ways of replacing the ribbon. You can install a new

 

ribbon cartridge in the printer or refill the old ribbon cartridge with

 

new ribbon from a ribbon subcassette. Appendix A lists order

 

numbers for ribbon cartridges and ribbon subcassettes. The following

 

procedure is for ribbon cartridges. For ribbon subcassettes, refer to

 

the instructions shipped with the subcassette.

 

To replace the ribbon cartridge:

 

1.

Turn off the printer.

 

2.

Open the front cover of the printer. For easy installation, slide

 

 

the print head carriage to a position where it does not face a

 

 

bail roller.

CAUTION

The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
