by maintaining close contact between the media and the
printhead.
To clean the drive roller and peel-off bar
1. Turn the printer power off and remove the power cord.
2. Open the printer cover.

lever (on the left side of the printer) toward the front of the
printer. Lift the printhead up into the full open position.
4. Remove the media and ribbon (if necessary).

isopropyl alcohol. Move the cloth over the drive roller in a
side-to-side motion as shown.
6. Clean both sides of the peel-off bar with a cloth dampened
with isopropyl alcohol. Remove all traces of dust, paper, and
adhesive.
7. Replace the media and ribbon.

position by pressing down firmly on both sides of the
printhead.
9. If you are finished cleaning, close the printer cover.
