Cleaning The Platen Roller - Sony UP-D897 Instructions For Use Manual

Cleaning the Platen Roller

When the surface of the platen roller gets dirty, paper
will not be ejected smoothly after printing, resulting in
paper jams and inconsistent print quality. Press the
power ON/OFF switch to ON to turn the unit on, and
then press the FEED button for a second or so to feed
some more paper out of the unit. It is likely that the roller
is getting dirty if paper is easily pulled out by hand.
Clean the platen roller using a soft cloth moistened with
ethyl alcohol when it becomes dirty.
