Clean the Rewind Option
The Rewind option is required. Refer to Figure 36 and perform the following procedure if
adhesive buildup begins to affect peel performance.
Figure 36 • Cleaning the Rewind Option
To clean the Rewind option, complete these steps:
1. Open the printhead assembly.
2. Close the peel assembly to prevent bending the tear-off/peel-off bar during cleaning.
3. Use the Preventive Maintenance Kit (Zebra part number 47362) or a solution of
90% Isopropyl alcohol and 10% deionized water and swab to remove excess adhesive
from the tear-off/peel-off bar. Allow the solvent to evaporate.
4. Open the peel assembly by pivoting the module toward you.
5. Manually rotate the pinch roller and clean thoroughly with solvent and a swab. Allow the
solvent to evaporate.
6. Close the peel assembly.

Caution • Ensure that the printhead is fully open and engaged in the up position. If the
printhead is not latched in the up position, it could fall on your hand during the
procedure.
Note • Apply minimum force when cleaning the tear-off/peel-off bar. Excessive force can
cause the tear-off/peel-off bar to bend, which can have a negative effect on peel
performance.
