Cleaning the Platen Roller
Clean the platen roller when you see significant adhesive build-up or when a
label is wrapped around the platen roller.
1. Turn off the printer and open the supply cover.
2. Remove the supplies. See “Removing Supplies” in Chapter 3 for more
information.
3. Hold the printer upright and gently press down on the label deflector.
It may be stiff.
4. Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean the platen
roller.
5. Turn the platen roller with your
finger to clean all the way
around.
6. Reload the supplies and close
the label deflector and supply
cover.
If the brush does not remove all the
adhesive, moisten a cotton swab with
isopropyl alcohol and run the cotton
swab across the platen roller. Turn
the platen roller with your finger to make sure it is clean all the way around.
After cleaning, feed several inches of supply through without printing to
remove any remaining isopropyl alcohol.
