Caution • While performing any tasks near an open printhead, remove all rings, watches, hanging necklaces, identification badges, or other metallic objects that could touch the printhead. You are not required to turn off the printer power when working near an open printhead, but Brady recommends it as a precaution. If you turn off the power, you will lose all temporary settings, such as label formats, and you must reload them before you resume printing.

To set up the printer in Cutter mode, complete these steps:

1.Set the printer to Cutter mode. See Select Print Mode on page 65 for instructions.

2.Insert media into the printer. See Prepare the Media for Loading on page 32 for instructions.
