Cleaning the Platen
The platen becomes dirty when paper particles or ink
stick to it. We recommend cleaning the platen once a
month because the media will become dirty if there is
ink stuck to the platen.
You may need to clean more frequently depending on
the environment and media being used.
Read the following before starting this procedure.
U
“Precautions Regarding Maintenance” on page 54
A
After removing the media, make sure the
printer is turned off and the screen has turned
off, and then unplug the power cable from the
outlet.
B
Wait for one minute after unplugging the power
plug.
C
Open the printer cover and use a soft, clean
cloth to carefully clean away any dust or dirt
inside the printer.
Carefully wipe the platen. To avoid spreading
the dirt, wipe from the inside to the outside. If
there is a serious dirt problem, clean it using a
soft, clean cloth dampened with a mild
detergent. Then, wipe the inside of the printer
with a dry, soft cloth.
c
Important:
Be careful not to touch the ink tubes inside
the printer, otherwise, the printer may be
damaged.
D
If any paper particles (that looks like white
powder) accumulates on the platen, use
something like a cocktail stick to push it in.
E
When you have finished cleaning, close the
printer cover.
