5.2 Cleaning of the Optional Cutter Module

Be sure to turn off the power before cleaning the Cutter.
The following cutter modules are the optional cutters.
 B-FV204T-F-QM-R: Full Cutter Module for the B-FV4T-GS/TS

If paper jamming frequently occurs in the Cutter module, clean it by following the procedure below.
NOTE:
 Be sure to cut only the backing paper of the label. Cutting labels will cause glue to stick to the cutter
blades which may affect the cutter quality and shorten the cutter life.
 Basically it is not necessary to clean the Cutter Blades. Cleaning using an item whose tip is hard may
cause chipping or using a cloth soaked with alcohol, water or other liquid may cause rust.
