Guideline to Replace the Linerless Platen Roller

The linerless platen roller has a blue stripe on the center of the roller. When the blue striped marking started to fade off, it indicates that you should replace the linerless platen roller.

 

•	This is only a general guideline. The condition in which the linerless platen roller wears out varies depending on the media that is used. In any case, replace the worn linerless platen roller when it affects the printing quality of the product.
