Cleaning the Media Guides
Both parts of the label stop sensor, which controls the media
feed, are covered by plastic guides. The guides are transparent to
allow the light to pass between the two parts of the label stop
sensor. These areas (indicated by a shade of gray in illustration #2
below) must be kept clean from dust, stuck labels, and adhesive
residue.
If the printer starts to feed our labels in an unexpected way, raise
the upper guide as described below and check for any object that
may block the beam of light (dust, stuck labels, adhesive residue,
etc.). If necessary, clean the guides using a cleaning card or a soft
cloth soaked with isopropyl alcohol. Do not use any other type of
chemical. Be careful not to scratch the guides.
Warning!
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH

)

CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly fl am-
mable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
Lift the inner part of the upper guide and pull it
outwards, disengaging it from the lower guide. Take
care not to damage the cable.
Tilt the upper guide upwards and clean the areas
marked with gray. After cleaning, re-assemble in
reverse order.
