LabelWriter Printer Features
Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use ink or toner. Instead, the printer
uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only supplies
you will ever need to buy.
The form-feed button on the front of the printer advances a single label.
The status light visually shows the current state of the printer:
• Solid blue - USB cable is connected and printer is ready to print.
• Solid green - Serial cable is connected and printer is ready to print.
• Dimmed blue or green - printer is in power saving mode.
• Flashing red - Labels are not loaded properly or the label roll is empty.
• Flashing green - Printer is in configuration mode. Refer to the Technical Reference Guide.
