Replacing Supplies

If labels run out while printing, leave the printer power on while reloading (data loss results if you turn off the printer). After you load a new label roll, press the Feed button to restart.

Always use high quality, approved labels and tags. If adhesive backed labels are used that don’t lay flat on the backing liner, the exposed edges may stick to the label guides and rollers inside the printer, causing the label to peel off from the liner and jam the printer. Approved supplies can be ordered from your dealer.
