LABEL SETUP

   Turn on the power and wait for about 5 seconds until the printer is initialized.

2. Automatic Label Identification

   • Insert the label from the backside of the printer, the printer will grab the label and move back and forth, then stop with the green light on. Not a single label will be wasted during this procedure.

3. Intelligent Label Study
   Press and hold the feeder button for about 3 seconds until you hear one beep then release, the label will move back and forth several times to study the label size, and then you can start printing.
