6 Clean both sides of the tear bar with a cloth dampened with isopropyl
alcohol. Remove all traces of dust, paper, and adhesive.
7 Replace the media and ribbon.
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 media
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.
To clean the media guides and media path
1 Turn off the printer and remove the power cord.
2 Remove the media cover.
3 Remove the media and ribbon (if necessary).
4 Pull down on the lower media guide to open up the media path.
