MAINTENANCE
Cleaning the Platen
Clean the platen about once a month to remove excess ink. Use the
platen cleaner recommended by your supplier and proceed as follows:
1. Apply a small amount of platen cleaner to a soft cloth. Avoid
spilling platen cleaner inside the printer.
CAUTION
Do not use alcohol to clean the platen. Alcohol may cause the
rubber to harden.
2. Place the cloth against the platen.
3. To dry the platen, place a dry cloth against the platen.
There are two ways of replacing the ribbon. You can install a new
ribbon cartridge in the printer or refill the old ribbon cartridge with
new ribbon from a ribbon subcassette. Appendix A lists order
numbers for ribbon cartridges and ribbon subcassettes. The following
procedure is for ribbon cartridges. For ribbon subcassettes, refer to
the instructions shipped with the subcassette.
To replace the ribbon cartridge:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the front cover of the printer. For easy installation, slide
the print head carriage to a position for replacing the ribbon
cartridge (indicated by the triangle marking on the front of the
upper cover).
CAUTION
The print head may be hot if you have been printing recently.
