Clean the Snap Plate
Clean the snap plate when label adhesive or a label is stuck to the underside.
The type of snap plate in your printer will depend on whether the printer is standard or
RFID-ready/enabled. Figure 27 shows the snap plate in a standard non-RFID printer.
Figure 28 shows the location of the snap plate in an RFID-ready XiIIIPlus or in an
R110Xi/R170Xi. Follow the instructions that apply to your printer.
