Clean the Peel-Off Assembly
The Peel-Off option is required.
If adhesive buildup affects peel-off performance, complete these steps:
1. Open the printhead assembly.
2. Close the peel assembly to prevent bending the tear-off/peel-off bar during cleaning.
3. Use the Preventive Maintenance Kit (Zebra part number 47362) or a solution of
90% Isopropyl alcohol and 10% deionized water and swab to remove excess adhesive
from the tear-off/peel-off bar. Allow the solvent to evaporate.
4. Open the peel assembly by pivoting the module toward you.
5. Manually rotate the pinch roller and clean thoroughly with solvent and a swab.
6. Close the peel assembly.
7. Close the printhead assembly.
Caution • Ensure that the printhead is fully open and engaged in the up position. If the
printhead is not latched in the up position, it could fall on your hand during the
procedure.
Important • Apply minimum force when cleaning the tear-off/peel-off bar. Excessive
force can cause the tear-off/peel-off bar to bend, which could have a negative effect on
peel performance.
Note • When cleaning the tear-off/peel-off bar or the pinch roller, remove excess solvent
with a pad to ensure the solvent has dried before printing.
