5.If using roll labels (or tags), load the roll onto the Label Supply Spindle so that the printing side of the labels faces upwards as it unwinds from the roll. The labels should be wound face-in. Push the roll all the way to the inside of the printer and push the Label Roll Retainer snugly against the outside of the label roll.

6.If using fanfold labels (or tags) set them on a flat surface behind the printer. Pass the labels (printing side up) through the slot in the rear of the printer.

7.Make sure the labels are routed under the Label Guide and through the Sensor Assembly.

8.Open the Label Hold-Down by squeezing the green tab and the release tab together. The Label Hold Down is spring loaded and will open automatically when the latch is disengaged. Feed the labels under the Label Guide, under the Label Hold Down, through the Sensor Assembly and out the front of the printer.

9.Inspect the label routing and verify that the path matches that illustrated in the Label Loading diagram. Set the Adjustable Label Guide to keep the labels against the inside of the printer.

10.Close the Label Hold-Down by pushing downward on the green tab until it latches closed.

NOTE: If the Label Dispenser option has been purchased, see Appendix A, for proper label routing instructions.
