Drive Roller
Print quality may be affected if the drive roller becomes
contaminated with grit, label adhesive, or ink. To clean the
Drive Roller complete the following steps:
1. Remove the Tear-Bar Assembly, see Figure 1-4.
2. Turn the Head-Lift Lever to raise the Printhead to the
'up' position.
3. Dampen a clean, soft cloth with Isopropyl Alcohol and
wipe off any debris from the Drive Roller.
Note: If the Drive Roller contains excessive build-up that is
unable to be removed using Isopropyl Alcohol you can
try acetone; however, this should be used sparingly.

During normal operation dust particles from label
stock can build up inside the Printer. To prevent
build-up, use a soft bristle brush or vacuum
cleaner as needed.
The exterior surface can be cleaned using a
general purpose cleaner and a damp soft cloth or
sponge. Do not use abrasive cleansers or solvents.
