1.4.1 Label Loading Instructions
To load labels complete the following steps:
1. Disengage the Printhead by rotating the Head-Lift Lever
counterclockwise to the ‘up’ position.
2. Slide the Media Guide to the outer edge of the guide and
rotate it to the ‘down’ position.
3. Slide the Retainer to the outer edge of the Supply
Mount.
4. Place the label roll on the Supply Mount and slide the
Retainer firmly against it.
5. Insert the label stock as shown in Figure 1-6.
6. Route the Media Guide ‘up’ and slide it to the edge of
the Media.
7. Engage the Printhead by rotating the Head-Lift Lever
clockwise to the ‘down’ position.
If the Media is not sensing, try adjusting the sensor position by
turning the adjustment knob for the movable sensor. The gauge
behind and below the Printhead can be viewed for making this
adjustment. If the label’s edge is not detected within 12" (305mm) of
feeding, the Printer will stop and the ‘Paper Out’ Indicator will
remain illuminated. In this case, check the threading of the Media
around the bottom of the upper and lower Media Guides.
If the paper feeds forward only about 2.5" (64mm) each time you
press the Feed Button, and does not seem to be stopping on a label
edge, the Ribbon on/off Switch, (shown in Figure 1-5) was
probably turned on without Thermal-Transfer Ribbon being
installed. Slide this switch toward the front of the Printer for Direct-
Thermal Printing.
