Cleaning the Label Sensors

CAUTION!
The light barrier can be damaged! Do not use sharp objects or solvents when cleaning the light barrier.
Label sensors can be dirtied by fingerprints, debris or accumulation of dust and can impair the detection of the start of the label or the
print marks. Clean the label sensors with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol (use Brady part number PCK-6).

Cleaning the Cutter (Auto-Cutter model)

WARNING!
To avoid injury, do not touch the blade edges with bare hands and keep hands away from the swivel
range of the lower blade.
Over time, adhesive from the labels can build up on the cutting blades. If operating in backfeed mode adhesive may be deposited on the
drive roller as well.
Clean the drive roller and the cutter blades often.
