8 Engage the printhead by turning the head lift lever counterclockwise
until the printhead locks.
9 If you are finished cleaning, replace the media cover.
You should clean the media guides and media path regularly to keep debris
off the media surface and printhead where irregularities can spoil print
quality or damage the printhead. Cleaning the guides also prevents the
media from skewing or improperly tracking as it travels through the paper
path which can result in smeared images and print off the side of the label.
Always clean the media guides immediately after a label jam in the printer.

1 Turn the On/Off switch to the off position and remove the power cord.
2 Remove the media cover.
