1.Turn off the printer and open the supply cover.

2.Remove the supplies. See “Removing Supplies” in Chapter 3 for more information.

3.Hold the printer upright and gently press down on the label deflector. It may be stiff.

4.Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean the platen roller.

5.Turn the platen roller with your finger and then continue cleaning.

6.Reload the supplies, close the label deflector and supply cover.

Platen Roller

If the brush does not remove all the adhesive use isopropyl alcohol ONLY on the platen roller.

Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and run the cotton swab across the platen roller. Turn the platen roller with your finger to make sure it is clean all the way around. After cleaning, feed several inches of supply through without printing to remove any remaining isopropyl alcohol.
