Cleaning the Platen

If the back side of the paper is dirty, clean the platen inside the front cover.

CAUTION

  • When opening or closing the front cover, do not put your fingers over the folding parts of the covers. Doing so may result in your fingers becoming trapped or injured.

  • Be careful when replacing the paper, clearing paper jams, or cleaning the platen. Follow the instructions for these procedures properly. Not doing so could result in injury from the paper cutter inside.

Important

  • Do not touch the metal shaft or encoder sheet behind the platen.

  • Clean the platen at least once a month.
