2.Turn the Head-Lift Lever to raise the Printhead to the ‘up’ position.

3.Dampen a clean, soft cloth with Isopropyl Alcohol and wipe off any debris from the Drive Roller.

Note: If the Drive Roller contains excessive build-up that is unable to be removed using Isopropyl Alcohol you can try acetone; however, this should be used sparingly.
