1. Insert a small-blade screwdriver or similar tool into the loop on the left side of the snap plate.

2. Gently lift the left side of the snap plate.

3. Insert a small-blade screwdriver or similar tool into the loop on the right side of the snap plate.

4. Gently lift the right side of the snap plate.

5. Remove the snap plate from the printer.

Warning: The cutter blade is sharp. Do not touch or rub the blade with your fingers.
