Moisten a cotton swab with
isopropyl alcohol and run
the cotton swab across the
platen roller. Turn the
platen roller with your finger
and make sure it is clean all
the way around.
Note:
Do not remove the platen roller. Slightly
dampen a cloth with water and wipe the
printer’s exterior surfaces clean. Use a dry,
soft-bristled brush to clean paper dust out of
the printer’s interior.
