5Install Label Material
2Quick Start Installer
The installer should prompt you to install label
material. It is recommended for the first install
that you use the starter label roll that ships with
your printer.
1. Open the Top Cover.
2. Lower the Roll Guide and pull it outward to
make room for your label stock.
3. Pull the Movable Throat Guide outward to
make room for the label stock.
4. Remove any shipping tape from your label
stock roll to ensure that it can unroll freely,
making certain that no adhesive portion is
exposed. It is important to note that any
exposed adhesive surface can attach itself the
the inner workings of the print mechanism
and cause a media jam.
5. Place your roll of label stock on the Roll Arm
and push it inward until it touches the stop.
6. Flip up the Roll Guide and slide it inward
until it touches the label stock. (The Roll
Guide will automatically pull back slightly
to the correct position)
7. Place the leading edge of label
stock under the "label stock"
symbols on the Throat Guides. The label
stock should be placed far enough into the
throat of the printer to correctly position the
Movable Throat Guide but not yet into the
printer itself. The label stock should be
biased against the Fixed Throat Guide.
8. Slide the Movable Throat Guide inward until
it almost touches the label stock. There must
be slightly more space between the Throat
Guides than the width of the label stock.
If the label stock is pinched by the guides,
poor print quality or even feeding problems
could result.
9. Feed the label stock further into the printer
until it senses the label and automatically
feeds it through the printer.
