Loading the Label Stock
The M10e has an automatic media loading feature, making it extremely easy to load.
1. Select the proper media sensing method
using the DIP switches on the Configuration
Panel. The printer comes from the factory set
up for label gap detection (DS2-2 and DS3-3
both in the Off position). If Eye-Mark labels
are to be used, DS2-2 should be placed in the
On position.
2. Apply power to the printer.
3. Release the Print Head by pulling forward on
the Head Latch Lever.
4. Check to make sure that nothing is in the
media path. Remove any media that may
have been left in the printer.
5. Adjust the Label Width Guides by losening
the thumbscrew and moving the guides in or
out to match the media width. The guides are
interlocked so that adjusting one will
automatically adjust the other side to
maintain a center justified label path. Tighten
the thumbscrews.
6. Note that the Green Media Loaded LED on
the back panel is off.
7. Thread the media into the back of the printer
between the label guides. When it is correctly
positioned, the Green Media Loaded LED
will be on.
