Cleaning the
Paper Guides
Both parts of the label stop sensor, which controls the paper feed, are
covered by plastic guides. The guides are provided with seemingly
non-transparent areas, through which the light between the two
parts of the label stop sensor is transmitted. These areas (indicated
by a shade of grey in illustration #2 below) must be kept clean from
dust, stuck labels, and adhesive residue.
If the printer starts to feeed our labels in an unexpected way. lift the
upper guide – as described below – and check for anything that may
block the beam of light (dust, stuck labels, adhesive residue etc.).
If necessary, clean the guides using a cleaning card or a soft cloth
soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use any other the of chemical.
Be careful not to scratch the guides.
Caution!
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH

)

CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly
fl ammable, moderately toxic and mildly irritating substance.
Lift the inner part of the upper guide and
pull it outwards,disengaging it from the lower
guide. Take care not to damage the cable.
Tilt the upper guide upwards and clean the
areas marked with grey. After cleaning, reas-
semble in reverse order.
