Media Jams
Should a media jam occur in the print mechanism, proceed this
way to clear it:
• Always switch off the power before starting to clear the
jammed media.
• Raise the printhead and pull out the media.
• If the media has been wound up or has stuck on the platen
roller, carefully remove it by hand without using any sharp
tools that can damage the delicate platen roller or printhead.
Avoid rotating the platen roller.
• Cut off any damaged or wrinkled part.
• Check if there is any adhesive somewhere in the print
mechanism, clean using a cleaning card or cotton swab soaked
in isopropyl alcohol.
• Reload the media as described in “Media Load” on page 25.
• Switch on the power.
• Readjust the media feed by pressing the Feed key.
If you must pull away the media by force causing the platen
roller to rotate, it is very important that the power has been
off for a minute or more. If not, the electronics can be
damaged beyond repair.
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH 3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly
flammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
