Trouble Shooting and Diagnostics
In the following descriptions of paper jam recovery it is assumed that you stand
in front of the printer, facing the tractor cassettes.
S The metal bar going through the paper guide plate above the platen is the so-
called "D-shaft" (the shaft has a flattened top and resembles a capital D in its
cross section). There is a green lever to the right end of the D-shaft. If you
swing this lever toward the cutter the pick-up rollers lift slightly, allowing easy
access to paper jammed in that area.
S Remove the green screws holding the paper guide plate. Remove the paper
guide plate by lifting it slightly and pulling the D-shaft toward the right out of
its case. Jammed paper is accessible now.
S If the paper in the printer with cutter is caught in the guide of the cutter the
ledge covering the blade can be tipped up to access the paper.
S Cutting through a sticky label leaves glue on the blade, leading to problems
with the cutting device. Small parts of a cut through label could detach from
its paper and get stuck under the shield of the print head or even block the
cutter completely. If the shield or the blade gets dirty it must be cleaned
immediately. Use a close with petrol.
Caution: There is danger to get hurt.
