Chapter 2— Operating the Printer

9Use PrintSet, your third-party software, or the IPL command set to configure the printer for the kind of media you are using (continuous or mark label). Refer to the PrintSet online help, your third-party documentation, or the IPL Programming Reference Manual for help.

10Press Feed/Pause to advance several inches of media through the printer and out the label opening in the front cover. Your printer is now ready to print labels.

Note: Refer to the label located on the inside of the media cover for directions on loading media. For your convenience, you may want to refer to it when loading media in the future.

Loading Media for Self-Strip Printing

Use self-strip printing in applications where you want to apply labels to a surface immediately. After printing a label, the printer prints out the label with the backing removed. The rewinder hub collects the backing after it passes over the self-strip assist roller. The rewinder hub can hold the backing from an entire roll of media.

Note: You should find a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number printed on it attached to your roll of media or a 15-digit number stamped on the side of the media roll. Save this information. You will need it to set the correct media sensitivity number. See “Setting the Media Sensitivity Number” on page 24 for help.

To load self-strip media

1Raise the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the printhead disengages.

2Turn the supply roll retainer counterclockwise to release it and slide it to the outer end of the supply roll post. Turn it clockwise to lock it in place.

3Place the media roll on the supply roll post and position it firmly against the inside wall of the printer.

4Turn the supply roll retainer counterclockwise and slide it up to the edge of the media roll. Turn the supply roll retainer clockwise to secure.

Note: If you are using a narrow roll of media, less than 7.62 centimeters (3 inches), insert the media support between the roll of media and the supply roll retainer before securing it.
