Printing — high volume printer
This procedure describes the high volume printer’s default
Note: Printer controls and indicators are described in the tables following this procedure.
1.Open the printer by carefully lifting the right cover panel up on its hinges, exposing the inside of the printer.
2.Verify that a tag roll and ribbon are properly installed, and that enough tags and ribbon are available to perform the required print job.
3.Verify that the leading edge of the first blank tag on the roll is barely visible from the front of the printer (see below). The first tag should be in this position to provide correct printing alignment. If necessary, move the tag roll forward or back for proper alignment.
4.Carefully lower the right cover panel into the closed position.
