FEATURES

PRINTER FEATURES
Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use toner, ink cartridges, or a ribbon. Instead, it uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only supply you will ever have to buy.
Figure 1 depicts the major components of the printer.

The form-feed button on the front of the printer advances a single label. The label eject button is used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls. The LED status light allows you to visually determine the current state of the printer:

• Solid blue – power is on and the printer is ready.
•  Flashing blue – labels are not loaded properly or label spool is empty.

SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Software must be downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.

LOADING LABELS

TO LOAD A LABEL ROLL

1.  Press the form-feed button to eject the labels that protected the printer during shipment.

2.  Open the top cover and remove any packing material inside the label compartment.

3.  Remove the label spool from inside the cover.

4.  Hold the spool spindle in your left hand and place the label roll on the spindle so that the labels feed from underneath and the left edge of the label roll is flush against the side of the spool. (See Figure 5)

5. Place the spool guide onto the right side of the spool and press the guide tightly against the label roll, leaving no gap between the roll and the spool. (See Figure 5)
   NOTE: The label roll must fit snugly against both sides of the label spool (with no gaps) to avoid drifting as the label feeds through the printer.

6. Align the left edge of the label with the left edge of the label feed slot and insert the label into the slot. (See Figure 6)
   NOTE: The printer feeds the labels, stopping at the beginning of the first label. If the printer does not feed the labels, make sure the first label is fully inserted and then press the form-feed button.

7. Lower the top cover.
