Label Stock Loading

The M-10e has an automatic media loading feature, making it extremely easy to load.

1.Select the proper media sensing method using the DIP switches on the Configuration Panel. The printer comes from the factory set up for label gap detection (DS2-2 and DS3-3 both in the Off position). If Eye- Mark labels are to be used, DS2-2 should be placed in the On position.

2.Apply power to the printer.

3.Release the Print Head by pulling forward on the Head Latch Lever.

4.Check to make sure that nothing is in the media path. Remove any media that may have been left in the printer.

5.Adjust the Label Width Guides by loosening the thumbscrew and moving the guides in or out to match the media width. The guides are interlocked so that adjusting one will automatically adjust the other side to maintain a centre justified label path. Tighten the thumbscrews.

6.Note that the Green Media Loaded LED on the back panel is off.

7.Thread the media into the back of the printer between the label guides. When it is correctly positioned, the Green Media Loaded LED will be on.

8.Close the Top Cover.

9.Place the printer Online by pressing the LINE key.

10.The printer will automatically feed the media into the printer until it is correctly positioned for printing.
