Platen Considerations

The standard platen (drive roller) normally does not require cleaning. Paper and liner dust can

accumulate without effecting print operations. Contaminates on the platen roller can damage

the printhead or cause the media to slip when printing. Adhesive, dirt, general dust, oils and

other contaminates should be cleaned immediately off the platen.

Clean the standard platen (and media path) whenever the printer has significantly poorer

performance, print quality or media handling. The platen is the print surface and drive roller

for your media. If sticking or jamming continues even after cleaning, you must replace the

platen.

Cleaning the liner-less platen removes the outer layer of silicon. If contaminates other than

adhesive and paper dust are on your platen, you may need to clean your platen. This will

shorten your platen’s usable life.

Reminder - Always clean the printhead before installing a new media roll to help prevent

adhesive buildup on the printhead and adhesive transfer to the platen. Adhesive buildup on the

printhead should always be cleaned from the middle of the printhead to the outside. Any

adhesive residue will be moved outside of the media feed and print area. Discard the cleaning

pen after each cleaning to keep diluted adhesive from building up on the pen and transferring

to the printhead surface. This is the most common cause of media feed (jamming, slippage and

stalls) and print quality issues.

Standard Media Platen Cleaning

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 grade alcohol (90% pure or better).

1. Open the media door and remove the media.

2. Remove the platen from the printer (see Replacing the Platen on page 41).

3. Clean the platen surface with the alcohol moistened swab. Rotate the platen while

swabbing. Repeat this process two to three times with a new swab to remove residual

contaminates. Adhesives and oils, for example, may be thinned by the initial cleaning but

not completely removed.

4. Install the platen in the printer (see Replacing the Platen on page 41).

5. Discard the cleaning swab after use.

Allow the printer to dry for one minute before loading labels.

Liner-less Platen Cleaning

Normal Cleaning: If the liner-less platen roll has adhesive or paper dust build-up at the edges

of the media path, use the following procedure to remove the material. Do not use this

procedure to remove foreign contaminates (oils, dirt, etc.), see the Foreign Contaminates

Cleaning procedure.

1. Open the printer and remove the liner-less media.

2. Remove the platen roller. Use the platen replacement procedure.
