Printing the Label

We will now print the label created in the earlier example.

1 In the Print properties box, select the number of

copies to be printed (1) and then click . The label is printed.

If the Print property box is not displayed in the Property dock click to open it.

2 Cut off the printed label using the CUT lever.

When using the LPS-1, make sure that printing is completed before cutting the label with the CUT lever. Attempting to cut the label before printing is completed will result in an error. If an error occurs, turn the power off and then on again to clear the error.

Printing options and label cutting
