Getting to Know Your Printer
Become familiar with the location of the feature and function keys on your printer. See Figure 1 on page 5. The following sections describe each feature in detail.
Power
The | button turns the power on and off. To save |
power, the printer automatically turns off after five minutes | |
of inactivity. | |
When the printer is turned off, the current label and settings are remembered for the next time the printer is turned on. If the batteries and power adapter are disconnected at the same time, some of the settings are remembered; however, the current label is lost and you will need to reset the label width when you reconnect the power and turn on the printer.
LCD Display
The LCD display includes a caption bar showing the current label type, and feature indicators across the top and on the right side showing which features are currently selected. Feature indicators appear black when selected. See Figure 6.
