Removing Labels from the Dispenser Roller
On occasion, a label might become wound around the Dispenser Roller during
a Peel-Off operation (Gemini TD). This might happen, for example, if
Presentation Position is not set correctly. To remove the label(s) :
1. Turn the power off. This will allow the rollers to be turned.
2. Rotate the printhead locking lever clockwise to the open position.
3. Soak a paper towel with WD-40 or similar solution.
4. Rotate the dispenser locking lever clockwise to the open position. Feed the
soaked paper towel into the dispenser area and place it down between the
rollers.
5. Continue feeding the soaked paper towel through by rotating the Media
Feed Roller with the palm of your hand. This will cause the Dispense Drive
Roller to rotate and feed the paper towel through.
6. Wrap the soaked paper towel around the Dispense Drive Roller as
completely as possible and leave it for about 5 minutes. When the WD-40
has softened the adhesive, remove the paper towel.
7. Begin peeling through the layers of label until you can grasp a section.
Pulling all layers from an area at once, rather than peeling each layer
separately generally works best. Grasp a section with your fingers or
tweezers and pull it away from the roller.
8. When the area facing out has been cleared of label(s), rotate the Media
Feed Roller to cause the Dispenser Drive Roller to turn. Continue rotating
and peeling the exposed label off.
9. When all the label(s) and adhesive have been removed, remove the traces
of WD-40 by thoroughly cleaning the entire area with isopropyl alcohol on a
soft cloth.
10. After the area has dried, remove any shredded bits of paper towel, cloth or
label with a soft brush, or blow-out the area with a can of compressed air.
