Clean the platen You should clean your printer's platen every few months, or when necessary. NOTE: If you print on wide substrate after having printed on narrower substrate, you may find that the left side of the platen has become dirty. If this contaminated section of the platen is not cleaned, it could leave marks on the back of the substrate. CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the substrate-advance sensor when cleaning the platen. The sensor is the very small rectangular window (less than 1 cm²) found close to the third pinchwheel from the right. See Clean the substrate-advance sensor window on page 19. Follow these instructions to clean the platen. 1. Unload all substrate from the printer. See the User's guide. 2. Turn off the printer and wait until it has cooled down, then unlock and open the printer window. 3. Use a clean, absorbent lint-free cloth to thoroughly wipe any wet ink from the cutter grove, cutter ramp and platen. 4. With a dry brush, remove dry, loosened ink deposits from the cutter groove and cutter ramp. A brush is available in the User Maintenance Kit. 5. With the same dry brush, remove dry, loosened ink deposits from the platen surface. ENWW Clean the platen 17
