4. Slide the supply roll retainer up to the edge of the media roll and turn the supply
roll retainer clockwise to secure.
5. Pull down on the lower media guide to allow easy access to the media path. Make
sure that the edge guide slides all the way to the outer edge of the lower media
guide.
6. Insert the label stock through the printer mechanism as shown. Make sure the label
passes between the upper and lower media guides. The front edge of the media
should pass over the tear bar and out the front of the printer.
7. Release the lower media guide and adjust the edge guide to position the media
firmly against the inside wall of the printer.
Note:
If you are using thermal transfer media, refer to “Loading Thermal Transfer
Ribbon” later in this chapter before you finish performing this procedure.

PrintSet online help, your third-party documentation, or the
IPL Programming
Reference Manual
for help.
