2. Clean the print head element with the print head cleaner.
3. Clean the print head element with the print head cleaner.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the print head when cleaning.
4. If any label paste is found on the cutter, wipe off the paste with alcohol.
After removing the label cutter, reattach it using the following procedure.
1. Install an unloaded label cassette on the scale.
2. Install the label cutter, aligning the cutter notches with the screw holes.
3. Secure the cutter with the screw (FL-3x6) so the bottom of the cutter is 0.5~0.8 mm above
the peel-off plate.
