To clean the Platen, perform the following procedure:

1Open the window and using a dry brush, remove the ink deposits from the cutter groove.

2With the dry brush remove the ink deposits from the Platen surface. Using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment will make this process easier.

3Use a clean slightly damp cloth to wipe off the loosened ink deposits from the Platen. Do not wipe the Rollers with this cloth. Using a vacuum cleaner will make this part easier.

4Perform the Turn Drive Roller Utility (see Page 4-18) to clean the exposed part of the Roller, while it is rotating, with another slightly damp cloth. It is important that the cloth is not too damp, otherwise you will leave too much moisture behind and the Roller will not work well when it is wet. Also make sure that you clean the Mark Encoder on the left side of the Driver Roller.

5Press Cancel when you have completed the cleaning procedure.
