Maintenance

Follow the instructions in this section to keep your machine operating at optimum efficiency. Dusty environments may require shorter intervals between cleaning and maintenance procedures.

Cleaning the outside of the machine

Wipe off dirt and dust on the surface (outside) of the printer with a dry soft cloth. Use a moistened cloth to clean persistent dirt and stains.

Caution

Do not use volatile solvents or chemicals such as benzene, thinner and alcohol. Doing so may deform or damage the case or surface of the printer.

Cleaning the cutter blade

You may need to clean the cutter blade if the printed labels are not cut properly, or have difficulty exiting the machine.

1 Turn off the power with the ON/OFF button and disconnect the machine from the power.

2 Press the Open Cover button to open the cover of the printer.

3 Remove the tape cassette.

4 Clean the cutter blade with a cotton bud.
