Chapter 2. Loading Supplies

Loading Supplies––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

We recommend synthetic supplies when printing serial or high-density bar codes. Use only paper labels for peel mode. For label sizes, see Chapter 6, "Specifications."

You can load supplies with the following widths:

2" (51mm)

3.5" (89mm)

2.5" (64mm)

4" (102mm)

3" (76mm)

You can load supplies two ways:

Peel mode peels the label from the backing paper while it feeds through the printer. This mode requires paper, black-marked labels. Your printer must be set to On-demand mode. The LED is solid green.

Non-peel mode feeds without peeling labels from the backing paper. This method is used primarily for printing label strips. Your printer must be set to Continuous mode. The LED is solid amber.

Loading for Peel Mode

Peel mode separates labels from the backing paper.

n Use only paper labels for peel mode. Also, before loading labels, make sure the label path is clean. Refer to Chapter 4, "Care and Maintenance."

To load your labels:

1.Open the printer.
