4.4.2 Cleaning the Platen Roller
Print quality can decline if the platen roller becomes contaminated with
paper dust, grit or adhesive. When this build-up is not removed, it can
cause abrasive damage to the printhead. To clean the Platen Roller:
Œ Turn ‘Off’ and unplug the printer.
ST Models: Raise the access cover; see Section 3.2.
Ž Slide the printhead latch to the unlocked position, raise the Printhead
Assembly (see Section 4.4.1) and remove the ticket stock.
Using a cotton swab or lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl
alcohol, remove all debris from the Platen Roller. Manually rotate
the roller and repeat to clean the entire surface.
Allow the Platen Roller to dry, then lower the Printhead Assembly
and slide the printhead latch into the locked position.
Plug in and turn ‘On’
the printer.
Load ticket stock;
see Section 3.2.
ST Models: Close the
access cover.
þ Note: NEVER use a sharp object to clean the Platen Roller.
