Getting Started

1.4.1 Label Loading Instructions

To load labels complete the following steps:

1.Disengage the Printhead by rotating the Head-Lift Lever counterclockwise to the ‘up’ position.

2.Slide the Media Guide to the outer edge of the guide and rotate it to the ‘down’ position.

3.Slide the Retainer to the outer edge of the Supply Mount.

4.Place the label roll on the Supply Mount and slide the Retainer firmly against it.

5.Insert the label stock as shown in Figure 1-6.

6.Route the Media Guide ‘up’ and slide it to the edge of the Media.

7.Engage the Printhead by rotating the Head-Lift Lever clockwise to the ‘down’ position.

If the Media is not sensing, try adjusting the sensor position by turning the adjustment knob for the movable sensor. The gauge behind and below the Printhead can be viewed for making this adjustment. If the label’s edge is not detected within 12" (305mm) of feeding, the Printer will stop and the ‘Paper Out’ Indicator will remain illuminated. In this case, check the threading of the Media around the bottom of the upper and lower Media Guides.

If the paper feeds forward only about 2.5" (64mm) each time you press the Feed Button, and does not seem to be stopping on a label edge, the Ribbon on/off Switch, (shown in Figure 1-5) was probably turned on without Thermal-Transfer Ribbon being installed. Slide this switch toward the front of the Printer for Direct- Thermal Printing.
