rewound on the spindle. The next label will only print after removing the current label from the label exit path.

Note: The label dispenser will function only if it has been enabled using the front panel switches (DSW3-1 and DSW3-2 in the ON positions).

The Label Taken Sensor is adjusted at the factory for the optimal setting for most label material. However, the use of labels with a substantially different opacity may require that the threshold be adjusted. To adjust the threshold of the sensor, use the following procedure:

1.Turn the Label Taken Threshold Potentiometer (located to the right of where the Label Dispense Option connector is plugged into the front panel, all the way clockwise. Turn the Power Switch to the ON position while simultaneously pressing the FEED key. When the printer “beeps,” release the FEED key.

2.Make sure there is no label in the Label Taken Sensor. Turn the potentiometer counter-clockwise until the LED illuminates.

3.Place a label in the Label Taken Sensor and check to see if the LED turns off. If it does not, turn the potentiometer clockwise until it goes off and repeat steps (b) through (c).

4.Press the FEED key and the printer will print a test label. Press the FEED key again to stop the printing and turn the printer OFF.
