Getting Started
This section describes how to set up your printer for the first time and use the most common
operating procedures for loading media in tear-off mode and loading ribbon.

Modes of Printing

You can operate this printer in different modes:
Standard tear-off mode allows you to tear off each label (or a strip of labels) after it is
printed.
In optional peel-off mode, the backing material is peeled away from the label as it is
printed. After this label is removed, the next one is printed.
In optional cutter mode, an attached unit cuts through the media.
The printer typically uses roll media, but you can use fan-fold or other continuous media as
well.
For procedures to use optional modes and features, refer to the Operation and Options section.
