Cleaning the Platen Roller
When the surface of the platen roller gets dirty, the paper
will not be fed smoothly, resulting in paper jams and
inconsistent print quality. Press the power ON/OFF
switch to on, and then press the FEED button for about
one second to feed some more paper out of the unit. It is
likely that the roller is getting dirty if the paper is easily
pulled out by the hand.
Clean the platen roller using a soft cloth moistened with
a 76.9 to 81.4 v/v% concentration of ethanol when it
becomes dirty.
1
Press the power ON/OFF switch to on.
2
Press the OPEN button to open the door.
If the paper is loaded in the paper tray, remove it.
Note
Be careful not to let the surface of the paper touch
the other objects. Failure to do so may cause
defective printings because of the dirt on the paper.
3
Clean the platen roller gently using a soft cloth
moistened with ethanol.
Notes
• After the surface of the platen roller wiped has
been dried completely, turn the platen roller to
clean another portion.
• Do not turn the platen roller with hands. Use the
FEED button to turn it. To clean another part of
the surface of the platen roller, go to the next step.
• Paper cutters are mounted in the unit.
When loading paper, be careful not to touch the
paper cutter. Touching the paper cutter may cause
injury.
