Replacing the Cutter Wear Strip
The wear strip is the surface directly underneath the cutting blade in the cutter mechanism. Over time
this strip will wear down due to cutter knife pressure. It can also be damaged if the knife cuts through the
liner and contacts the wear strip.
To replace the wear strip, remove any media from the cutter mechanism. Power off the Printer.
Push the knife carrier gently to the left. Grab one end of the wear strip and pull it off the cutter.
If necessary, use a utility knife to get under the strip to start it. The wear strip is held in place with
adhesive so there may be adhesive residue. Clean off the adhesive with isopropyl alcohol.
Remove the liner from the new wear strip. Press the strip into place. Make sure it is fully seated in the
recessed pocket.

Label Cut Dust
Label cut dust can accumulate at any place along the cut path.
Paper media creates more dust than synthetic material. Dust build-up does not cause any specific
immediate problems but it can eventually cause problems with the moving parts and electronics in the
cutter.
Periodically vacuum the cutter area and rollers.
