Cleaning the printer
Estimated reading: 1 minute
Regularly cleaning the ribbon printer is very important. This will prevent ink or ribbon residue buildup on the critical components of your printer: the printhead and the platen roller (the rubber roll).
When to clean the printhead & platen roller
- Every time you install a new roll of ink or satin into the printer.
- You notice glitters on the rubber roll.
- The tablet displays an error.
You can easily clean these parts with PIY Cleaning Tissues. Simply wipe down the printhead and clean the platen roller by rotating it all the way around.
Important
When cleaning the printhead, make sure to check if the transparent anti-static strips are still in-tact. They are located on the metal part of the printhead and the black, plastic part of the printer. Never remove these strips!
