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 liner-free mode, labels have no backing. This option is only available with a special platen.

•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.
