3600 Printer Maintenance Manual

Cleaning the Rollers and Tear Bar

Cleaning the platen roller and the tear bar preserves print quality by ensuring close contact between the media and the printhead. The TTR roller, liner roller, and media roller are cleaned in the same fashion to minimize general debris and to maximize their efficiency.

To clean the rollers and tear bar

1.Remove the media cover.

2.Raise the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the printhead releases.

3.Remove the media from the paper path and the ribbon (if installed) from the TTR hubs.

4.Clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth moistened in isopropyl alcohol. Wipe the cloth over the rollers, rotating each roller so that you clean all of it.
