Cleaning the Sensors
The media and cutter sensors are located inside the printer and may be covered
with dust that results from cutting the media. The media sensor is located under
the yellow media guide. The cutter sensor is located above the cutting blade and
is visible only when the cutter is released.
Materials Required
• BBP31 Cleaning Kit (Cat # B31-CCT)
• Isopropyl Alcohol
To clean the sensors:
1. If necessary, remove power and media from the printer (see Removing Power
and Media from Printer on page 1).
2. If not already released, squeeze the two yellow cutter tabs to release the
cutter.
3. With a pre-moistened foam swab, gently wipe the surface of the media
sensor [9] and cutter sensor [10] at the locations shown in the figure. Do not
allow the alcohol to drip from the swab.
