Getting Ready to Print

Loading the Media

You can operate this printer in three different modes: tear-off, peel-off, or with a cutter.

nTear-off mode allows you to tear off each label (or a strip of labels) after it is printed.

nIn 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.

nIn cutter mode, the printer automatically cuts the label after it is printed.

NOTE: The cutter is designed to cut through paper labels or the backing between labels, not the adhesive backing of the label. Adhesive build-up on the cutter blade may cause the cutter to jam. See page 39 for cutter cleaning instructions.
