Maintaining the Printer

Cleaning the Pinch Rollers

1. Access the interior (see 

“Accessing the Interior” on page 3-3

).

2. On the left side and the right side, use a new alcohol pad to 

clean the rubber section of the pinch roller. Wipe in one direction 
only, rotating the roller to clean the entire surface.

3. Allow the alcohol to dry completely (about five minutes) before 

you resume printing.

4. To close the printer, reverse the steps for accessing the interior 

(see 

“Accessing the Interior” on page 3-3

).
