The Peel-Off option is required.

Caution • Observe proper electrostatic safety precautions when handling any static-sensitive components such as circuit boards and printheads.

Caution • The printhead may be hot and could cause severe burns. Allow the printhead to cool.

1.Press the printhead release latch to open the printhead assembly.

2.Lift the printhead until it latches open.

3.Open the peel assembly by pivoting the module toward you.

4.Remove any media backing to expose the pinch roller.

5.While manually rotating the pinch roller, clean it thoroughly with the swab from the Preventive Maintenance Kit (part number 47362) or a solution of 90% Isopropyl alcohol and 10% deionized water and a cotton swab. Allow the solvent to evaporate.
