Warning: This procedure requires trained personnel with PPE!

Remove any media liner to expose the pinch roller

While manually rotating the pinch roller, clean it thoroughly with the swab from the Preventive Maintenance Kit (part number 47362). In place of the Preventive Maintenance Kit, you may use a clean swab dipped in 99.7% isopropyl alcohol. Allow the solvent to evaporate

Use the swab to remove excess adhesive from the tear-off/peel-off bar. Allow the solvent to evaporate

Important: Apply minimum force when cleaning the tear-off/peel-off bar. Excessive force can cause the tear off/peel-off bar to bend, which could have a negative effect on peel performance

Reload the media through the peel mechanism. For instructions, see Using Peel-Off Mode (with or without Liner Take-Up) on page 68

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