Cleaning the Platen
Roller
5
Dirt and debris on the platen roller can cause
the roller to feed paper into the printer at an
angle and degrade the quality of the printed
image.
a Make sure that the printer is turned on
and that no paper is loaded.
Note
If paper is loaded when you attempt to
clean the platen roller, a form feed will be
executed and the paper will be ejected.
b Insert the cleaning sheet into the paper
input slot. The text “CLEANING SHEET”
should be upright and face the front of
the printer, as shown. The roller will pull
the cleaning sheet into the starting
position.
c Remove the backing paper on the upper
half of the cleaning sheet, as shown.
Note
Do not remove the backing paper from the
lower half of the cleaning sheet.
d Press the (Feed) button for more
than two seconds. The printer will feed
and eject the cleaning sheet.
Note
• Do not attempt to clean the platen roller
with any material other than the cleaning
sheet.
• The cleaning sheet is for cleaning the
platen roller only. Do not use it to clean
any other part of the printer.
• Contact Brother or your reseller for a
replacement cleaning sheet.
