Getting Started
Thank you
...for choosing an IColor 200 Color Label Printer. The IColor 200 Printer will print razor-sharp text and barcodes,
vibrant colors, and even stunning photo-realistic photographs directly onto rolls of labels, card stock and a variety
of other approved media.
This User's Manual is your complete step-by-step guide to quickly and easily setting up and printing with your
new Color Label Printer!
A. Choosing a good location
• Place the printer on a flat surface in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent internal heat buildup.
• Do not place the printer near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sun
light, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Allow for adequate clearance in front of the printer to accommodate the printed label stock as it is leaving the
printer to avoid the possibility of binding or jamming of the label stock.
• Allow for adequate overhead and left side clearance for opening the top cover to allow easy access to the
label stock and ink cartridge. The printer will require 9.5 inches (24 cm) of additional space on the left side to
completely open the cover (Total = 26.75” or 68 cm). The printer will require an additional 15.9 inches (
40.4 cm) of overhead space to open the cover (Total = 25” or 63.5 cm).

C. Identifying Parts
This illustration shows the front of the printer with its control buttons and LED indicator lights.
• The Pause Button is pressed to pause a job to allow for loading of label stock and ink cartridges. The printer
pauses after the printing of the current label has finished. The Pause LED will illuminate when the printer is
paused.
• The Power LED indicates that the printer is on and ready to receive print jobs.
• The Load/Feed Button is pressed in order to load label stock if the printer does not automatically detect the
stock. When stock is loaded each press of the button will cause one label to be fed through the printer.
• The Ink Low LED will illuminate when a cartridge has 10% or less of its ink remaining.
• The Unload Button will unload the installed label stock by reversing it through the printer. Make sure to tear
off the printed labels before pressing the Unload Button.
• The Label Tear Bar is a serrated edge for conveniently tearing your finished labels from the printer. The
printer comes with a white tear bar guard. For smoother label feeding, leave the guard in place during printing.
When you are ready to tear off a label, remove the guard, tear off the label and replace the guard.
