Cleaning the Media Guides

The label stop sensor, which controls the media feed, is covered by two
plastic guides. The guides are transparent to allow the light to pass
between the two parts of the label stop sensor. These areas must be
kept clean from dust, stuck labels, and adhesive residue.
If your printer starts to feed labels in an unexpected way, pull out
the upper guide check for objects, such as dust, adhesive residue, or
labels, that may be blocking the beam of light. If necessary, clean the
guides.
Isopropyl alcohol [(CH 3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly
flammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.
