Cleaning The Applicator Pad

Hex Screw (4 or 6)
The applicator pad must be clean to ensure that labels will properly dispense.
Use isopropyl alcohol and a clean soft cloth. No other cleaning agent should
be used to clean the applicator pad.
Perform a maintenance check of the applicator pad vacuum chamber
approximately every three months, at minimum, using the following
procedures:
1. Remove the four (or six) hex screws found at the top of the applicator
pad, allowing the bottom pad to drop downward.
2. Check the holes of the applicator pad to make certain that there are no
large particles of dirt or dust clogging any of the holes.
3. Reassemble, making certain that the gasket (foam tape) is seated
properly before replacing the bottom pad.
