Removing Glue Residue from the Feeder Unit
After printing there may be a build-up of adhesive on the guide arms, extension arms and cutter blade. As a result,
the roll will stick and create excess back tension when feeding, causing load failures, bad cuts and unfavorable
output.
If you are seeing the following:
a) The roll is not fully rotating or seems to stick to the back guide arm
b) The media is not feeding at a constant speed/rate
c) The feeder blade does not have a clean cut
To fix the three problems shown below, you will need to use 99% isopropyl alcohol and a Kimwipe to gently wipe
each of the surfaces until the adhesive and residue are removed.
For access to the cutter blade you will need to remove the cutter blade cover by unscrewing all five screws. Using
caution, wipe the cutter blade until all residue is removed. Return the cutter blade cover to its original position and
retighten the screws. Reload media and continue printing
The following pictures give examples of where glue residue can build up.
