There was no sticker where my arm attaches, and the velcro attached to the
printer is well-adhered. My problem is that if I place the lucite arm over
the base velcro so the two pieces of velcro exactly match, then the tubes
are too long. So to compromise, I moved the lucite piece to the right about
1/2". (It actually projects over the paper thickness lever.) This, in turn,
causes the lucite piece to gradually lose it's grip on the velcro and sag
down toward the print area. In the summer, the heat also causes the tubes to
stretch so the potential for the tube to get caught in the print mechanism
is high...and has happened a couple of (terrifying) times.
