Platen ConsiderationsThe standard platen (drive roller) normally does not require cleaning. Paperand liner dust can accumulate without effecting print operations.Contaminates on the platen roller can damage the print head or cause themedia to slip when printing. Adhesive, dirt, general dust, oils and othercontaminates should be cleaned immediately off the platen.However, the non-stick platen roller on linerless media printers requiresfrequent cleaning to keep adhesive buildup from occurring and transferringto the print head and the media path. Keep a new platen available as a spareand install it whenever the printer has significantly poorer performance,print quality or media handling. If sticking or jamming continues even aftercleaning, you must replace the platen.Keep a new platen available as a spare and install it whenever the printerhas significantly poorer performance, print quality or media handling. Ifsticking or jamming continues even after cleaning, you must replace theplaten.The platen can be cleaned with a fiber-free swab (such as a Texpad swab)or a lint free, clean, damp cloth very lightly moistened with medical gradealcohol (70% pure or better).1. Open the media door and remove the media.2. Clean the platen surface with the alcohol moistened swab. Rotate theplaten while swabbing. Repeat this process two to three times with anew swab to remove residual contaminates. Adhesives and oils, forexample, may be thinned by the initial cleaning but not completelyremoved.3. Discard the cleaning swab or pen after use.Allow the printer to dry for one minute before loading labels.LubricationNo lubricating agents of any kind should be used on this printer! Somecommercially available lubricants, if used, will damage the finish and themechanical parts inside the printer.980481-001A 27
