Loading labels
Open the printer. Remember that you need to pull the release latch levers toward the front of the printer (as seen above).
Pull the media guides open with your free hand and place the media roll on the roll holders and release the guides. Orient the media roll so that its printing surface will be up as it comes out of the printer.
Loading ribbon
*Important: Keep the old, empty cardboard roll from the last ribbon as it will be used to "take-up" the next roll of ribbon.
With the printer open, place a new ribbon roll on printer’s lower ribbon supply spindles.
Rotate the roll until the notches align and lock into the left side of the supply hub.
Place an empty ribbon core on printer’s take-up spindles. Rotate the ribbon core until the notches align and lock into the left side of the take-up hub.
Pull the transfer ribbon’s leader off the roll and attach it with the adhesive strip on the leader to the empty ribbon core on the supply spindle. Center the ribbon on the ribbon core.
Rotate the thumb wheel on the left side of the supply spindle until the ribbon is pulled tight across the printhead.
Verify that the media is loaded and ready to print and then close the printer cover.
Calibrating the printer
Any time that you open and close the printer top, you will want to calibrate it.
- Hold the feed button at the top of the printer down until you see one flashing light, then two flashing lights, then release
- The printer will detect the labels locations and queue the roll up to the appropriate starting point on the label
- NOTE: Calibrating the printer will cause 4 labels to go through the printer so you may end up with unused labels unless you roll the labels back in the spool before calibrating.
