If the loaded media is direct thermal media (a chemically treated
surface), the media loading procedure is now completed. Close the
Ribbon Shaft Holder Plate, and turn the Head Lever to

position to close. Then, close the Top Cover.
If the media is thermal transfer media, it is also necessary to load a
ribbon. Refer to Section 2.8 Loading the Ribbon.
CAUTION!
1. Be sure to cut the backing
paper of the label.
Cutting labels will cause
the glue to stick to the
cutter which may affect
the cutter quality and
shorten the cutter life.
2. Use of tag paper when
the thickness exceeds the
specified value may affect
the cutter life.
