6.3 Cleaning the Platen Roller
Print quality may be affected if the platen becomes contaminated
with grit, label adhesive, or ink. To clean the platen:
n Turn ‘Off’ and unplug the printer.
o Open the cover.
Raise the Head-Lift Lever ‘up’ to access
the printhead. Move ribbon or paper away as necessary.
p Using a clean lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl
alcohol wipe off any debris from the platen. Manually
rotate the roller, cleaning the entire surface. Allow to dry.
q Re-install ribbon and media, if necessary.
r Lower the printhead by turning the Head-Lift Lever ‘down’
until it locks into position.
s Close the cover. Plug in and turn ‘On’ the printer. Feed
several labels to normalize tracking.
; Note: If the platen has excessive build-up that cannot be removed
with isopropyl alcohol, you may use acetone sparingly.
NEVER use a sharp object when cleaning the platen roller.
