4.Release the Label Roll Support by pulling outward at the top and swing it down and out of the way.

5.If using roll labels (or tags), load the roll onto the Label Supply Spindle so that the printing side of the labels faces upwards as it unwinds from the roll. The labels should be wound face-in. Push the roll all the way to the inside of the printer and push the Label Supply Guide snugly against the outside of the label roll.
