Press Feed/Cut to position the supply under the printhead. To load and use linerless or string tag supplies, refer to the Operator’s Handbook. Adjusting the Wide/Narrow Knobs You may need to adjust the two wide/narrow knobs according to the width of your supply.  For supply that is more than two inches, adjust the knobs to the wide setting.  For supply that is two inches or less, adjust the knobs to the narrow setting.  For linerless supply, use the narrow setting (knobs are up).  For string tag supplies, use the wide setting (knobs are down). You must adjust both of the knobs to the same position. If you experience ribbon smudging in cold, dry environments, adjust the wide/narrow knobs to the wide setting. For wide supplies, push down and turn the wide/narrow knobs clockwise with a screwdriver. For narrow supplies, turn the wide/narrow knobs counter-clockwise with a screwdriver until it pops back up. The adjustment is shown in the wide position. Peel Bar Lower Opening Tear Edge Backing Paper

9 Voids Streaks Cleaning CAUTION:  Do not use sharp objects to clean the printhead or touch the printhead.  This may damage the printhead and require a service charge. NOTE: You must clean the printhead as described below to maintain printhead life. The rate and frequency at which you print determines how often you must clean the printer.  You may need to clean the printhead, sensor, and platen roller: ♦  if there is any adhesive build-up in the supply path. ♦  after printing approximately 3 rolls of thermal transfer/thermal direct/linerless supplies or after each ribbon. ♦  daily if your printer is in an excessively dirty, hot, or humid environment. ♦  if you frequently receive supply error codes or when you see voids or streaking in the print as shown. 1.  Turn off the printer and open the cover and printhead assembly. 2.  Remove the label roll and ribbon (when cleaning the printhead). 3.  Press down on the exit cover tabs to open the exit cover on the front of the printer.
10 4.  Clean the platen roller when you see significant adhesive build-up or a label is wrapped around the platen roller.  Use a dry, soft-bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, to clean either the standard (black) or linerless (red/orange textured) platen roller. If the brush does not remove   all the adhesive  ♦  use isopropyl alcohol ONLY on the standard (black) platen roller.   Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol and run the cotton swab across the platen roller.  Turn the platen roller with your finger to make sure the platen roller is clean all the way around.   After cleaning, feed several inches of supply through without printing to remove any remaining isopropyl alcohol. ♦  call Service to clean the linerless (red/orange textured) platen roller. NOTE:  DO NOT use alcohol or solvents on linerless (red/orange textured) platen rollers. 5.  Rub the cotton swab moistened with isopropyl alcohol across the peel bar and remove any build-up. 6.  Moisten another cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol.  Rub the cotton swab across the printhead and remove any build-up.  You may need to use a printhead CLEAN-STRIP if the printhead is extremely dirty or you see streaks on the supply. 7.  Rub the cotton swab across the supply sensor and die cut sensor and remove any build-up. 8.  Clean the build-up in the supply path. Printhead Supply  Sensor Peel Bar Platen Roller
