CLEANING THE SENSORS CL408 and CL412

There are two sensors that are used to control the positioning of the label. One is a transmissive see-thru sensor that detects the edge of the label by looking through the backing paper which is translucent and detecting the presence of the opaque label. The other is a reflective sensor that detects the light reflected from the bottom of the label liner. When a printed black Eye-Mark passes through the beam, the light is no longer reflected back to the sensor detector, indicating to the printer that it should use this position as the start of a new label. When dust, dirt or other foreign matter interferes with the light path of either of these sensors, the results is erratic label positioning. These sensors should be cleaned regularly, at least every two rolls of labels.

Supplies Needed:

1.Turn the printer off and remove the power cable.

2.Open the label Top Access Door.

3.Open the Print Head Assembly by rotating the green Head Latch counter-clockwise. The Print Head Assembly is spring-loaded and will automatically open as soon as the Head Latch is disengaged.
