Chapter 3 — Operation

5Place the roll and spindle in the media compartment and snap the spindle into the slots on either side.

6Wind the green edge guide wheel towards the rear of the printer so the rear edge guides just touch the media roll without actually break- ing its rotation.

7Thread the labels through the slits in the front edge guides.

8Route the media through the slot in the optional cutter mechanism just in front of the tear bar.

9Firmly close the top cover.

10 If loading media for the first time or if changing from another type or size of media, perform a Label Gap Sensor Adjustment as described on page 28. Else, tap the Feed key either 4 times or until the indicator lamp glows green.

11 If the printer did run out of media while printing, the printing will automatically be resumed.
