2.4.3 Cleaning the Media Path, Media Sensor, and Interior
As paper dust and other contaminants accumulate inside the printer, the particles can be pulled
through the Media Sensor to the printhead, causing inconsistent label detection and voids in the print.
To prevent problems, clean Media Path, Media Sensor and other components as follows:
1. Turn OFF and unplug the printer. Raise the cover.
2. Raise the Printhead Assembly then remove the media (and ribbon, if installed).
