5.3.2Cleaning the Platen Roller

A platen roller contaminated with grit, label adhesive, or ink can cause a decline in print quality and, in extreme cases, cause labels to stick and wrap around the roller. To clean the platen roller:

ŒTurn ‘Off’ and unplug the printer.

•Open the access cover. Unlock the Printhead Latch and raise the Printhead Assembly. Remove media and ribbon.

ŽUsing a Cotton Swab dampened with isopropyl alcohol, clean the Platen Roller; manually rotate the roller and repeat, cleaning the entire surface. Allow the Platen Roller to dry.

•Replace ribbon and media.

•Lower the Printhead Assembly and rotate the Printhead Latch completely back, to the locked position.

‘Close the access cover. Plug in and turn ‘On’ the printer. Feed several labels to normalize tracking.

NEVER use a sharp object to clean the Platen Roller.
