Maintaining the Cutter


To ensure trouble free operation, the Cutter should be cleaned after printing each roll or box of labels.

Additionally, if the cutting action becomes sluggish, immediate cleaning is recommended. Clean the

Cutter as follows:

CAUTION

Cutter Blades are SHARP: Keep body parts away from the cutting surfaces. Never use

metal objects on the cutting surfaces. Take proper precautions when using isopropyl

alcohol, a flammable liquid.

1. Turn ‘Off’ the Power Switch and unplug the power cord

from the AC Receptacle. Raise the Access Cover and

remove the media from the printer.



2. Loosen the Mounting Screw, remove the Cutter from the

printer, and then remove the Cover Screw from the

Cutter.

3. Open the Cover. Using compressed air, remove any debris inside the mechanism, and then using a

Cotton Swab dampened with alcohol, wipe the Cutter Blade surfaces clean. Allow the blade to dry.

Note: For cleaning heavy deposits from the blade, WD-40

or another non-damaging adhesive

remover can be substituted – provided it is carefully and sparingly applied using a cotton

swab. Never spray WD-40

directly onto the assembly; severe damage can result.
