Solutions

Cleaning and Resetting the Cutter Assembly

  1. Disconnect Power immediately:
    * Always turn off and unplug the power cable before putting fingers or tools near the metal blade assembly.
  1. Clear Stuck Labels:
    * Open the printer cover and locate the cutter module at the front output slot.
    * Carefully pull away any label media that has folded into the blade cavity.
  1. De-gum the Blades:
    * Dip a clean cotton swab in isopropyl alcohol.
    * Clean both the upper stationary edge and the lower moving guillotine blade to dissolve gummed-up adhesive residue.
  1. Manually Reset Cutter Position:
    * Locate the manual adjustment wheel/gear on the side of the cutter chassis (if equipped) to wind the blade back to its home/rest position.
    * Re-plug, power on, and run a test cut via the printer feed key.
