•If the machine jams due to a build up of adhesive, you should clean the surface of the paper guide. Unplug the printer from the power and wipe away the adhesive build up from the surface of the
paper guide using a cloth or tissue dipped in isopropyl alcohol. We recommend that you clean the paper guide when replacing the cutter unit.
•The cutter unit should give you an average number of 5,000 cuts or more, depending on how you use the machine. If your printer does not cut the labels properly or starts to jam often, the cutter might have reached the end of its life; you should replace the cutter.
