II. Disassembling the cutter module.

See Figure 20. Hold the cutter module as illustrated. Put your thumbs on the

1.two wire spring loops (a) and your index fingers on the top of the rear cutter blade guard (b). It may help to lay the cutter module on a table or other surface throughout this process.

To remove the rear cutter blade guard, first press down simultaneously on the

2.two wire spring loops. While pressing down on the loops, press the rear cutter blade guard back toward you and over the top of the loops. (You’re trying to tuck the loops underneath the blade guard in this process.)

Continue pressing the rear cutter blade guard toward you and allow the back edge of the guard to pop up as the guard comes free from its holders. You

3.may now remove the rear cutter blade guard by lifting it off of the module. NOTE: The wire springs may flip up out of position during this process. Springs will be repositioned during reassembly.

Observe the ends of the rear cutter blade guard and note the small metal pins

4.protruding toward the inside. During the reassembly procedure, these pins will be mounted into the corresponding mounting slots in the cutter side panels.

5.To provide complete access to the area to be cleaned, raise the upper cutter blade guard (c) as shown in Figure 20.

III. Cleaning the cutter module.

1.Remove any label material which has adhered to the cutter parts and use a small brush to remove any paper dust from the cutter module.

If you use pressure-sensitive media, use a lint-free cloth soaked in an adhesive remover to remove all gum and label residue from the cutting blades and

2.guards.

If you use tag stock, use alcohol to remove any dirt.

IV. Reassembling the cutter module.

1.See Figure 21. Position the two wire springs (a) down against the lower cutter blade.

Place the rear cutter blade guard (b) over the wire springs, perpendicular to its

2.final position. Place your thumbs on the top (flat) part of the guard.

NOTE: Insure that the ends of the rear cutter blade guard are positioned on the outside of the cutter side panels.

Press the rear cutter blade guard down and forward, rotating the guard as you proceed, to lock the mounting pins (c) into position in the cutter side panel

3.mounting slots (d). Slide the guard forward until the two wire spring loops pop up on the back side of the Guard.

NOTE: Insure that the wire springs remain positioned under the rear cutter blade guard when assembly is completed.

Lower the upper cutter blade guard back to its normal position. When

4.reassembled, the back of the cutter module should look like the one shown in Figure 22.
