STEP PROCEDURE
1. Turn OFF the Power Switch
2. Raise the printer side door. Fig. Page 3-4
3. Open the PRINT HEAD ASSEMBLY by pulling forward on the bar atop the
assembly (green lever guard marked "PULL"). Fig. Page 3-4
4. Apply the SATO Thermal Print Head and Platen Cleaner to one of the clean
wipes or a cotton swab.
5. With the dampened portion of the clean wipe or cotton swab, gently wipe
along the entire length of the platen. Make sure to rotate the platen so as
to clean its entire surface. (Note that the platen is the black rubber roller
directly below the print head.) Fig. Page 3-5

NOTE: The platen should be cleaned after every two rolls of printed
labels. Cleaning will ensure proper label movement through the printer.
