Intermec PF4I manual Media Jams, Cut off any damaged or wrinkled part

Chapter 11—Maintenance

Media Jams

Should a media jam occur in the print mechanism, proceed this way to clear it:

•Always switch off the power before starting to clear the jammed media.

•Raise the printhead and pull out the media.

•If the media has been wound up or has stuck on the platen roller, care- fully remove it by hand without using any sharp tools that can damage the delicate platen roller or printhead. Avoid rotating the platen roller.

If you must pull away the media by force causing the platen roller to rotate, it is very important that the power has been off for a minute or more. If not, the electronics can be dam- aged beyond repair.

•Cut off any damaged or wrinkled part.

•Check if there is any adhesive somewhere in the print mechanism, clean using a cleaning card or cotton swab soaked in isopropyl alcohol.

Isopropyl alcohol [(CH-3)2CHOH; CAS 67-63-0] is a highly flammable, moderately toxic, and mildly irritating substance.

•Reload the media as descibed in Chapter 4.

•Switch on the power.

•Readjust the media feed by pressing the <Feed> key.
