LABEL SETUP

Make sure the orange guides are touching the label sides. The printable part of the label should be facing up toward you.

After completing this step, the printer will begin automatic label identification. Once the printer stops, it will have identified your label size. The next time you want to put labels into the printer, instead of opening the printer, you can simply feed labels into the back of the printer.

MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE PRINT HEAD

The printer head is a sensitive part of the printer and can be found on the upper part of the printer when open.
Caution : While the printer is running the printer head can be very hot.

1.  Ensure that the power switch is OFF, remove the power cord, and open the cover as outlined above in step 4. Wait several moments to ensure that the printer head cools down.
2.  Completely clean the printer head using an alcohol swab like the one provided. Any 70% Isopropyl Alcohol pad would work. Please do not use water.
3.  Wait 2-3 minutes until the alcohol has completely dried, then close the cover.
4.  Connect the power cord and print a test page to check if it is clean.
