CLEARING LABEL JAMS

Note:

 To prevent label jams, tear off  print outs as they are generated. Do not let the label roll scroll out of the 

printer.

If the labels jam in the printer, follow these steps to remove them.

1.  Open the printer cover and use scissors to cut the label between the feed slot and the roll of labels.

2.  Press the Form Feed button on the printer’s front panel to advance the label through the printer. Reload the 

labels (see Loading Printer Labels for instructions).

3.  If the label will not come through the form feed slot, remove the label spool from the printer. Pull the 

jammed label gently back out of the printer through the feed slot.

4.  If needed, the front bezel of the printer may be removed to better access the print head. Open the lid and 

gently pull up on the lip of the front cover (1, see below). Slide the piece forward (2). The bezel will pull off .
