Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use toner, ink
cartridges, or a ribbon. Instead, it uses heat from a thermal print head to print on
specially treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy.
Become familiar with the printer’s major components. See Figure 2.
LabelWriter Printer Features
The form-feed button on the front of the printer is used to advance a single label
when loading labels.
The LED status light allows you to visually determine the current state of the printer:
• Solid green - power is on and the printer is ready.
• Flashing green - labels are not loaded properly or label spool is empty.
