EOS label tape and Ink ribbon loading instructions
1. To load a roll of labels, open the side cover. Remove the roll retainer by turning the
green locking knob left to the unlock position, and pull it off.
2. Insert the label roll onto the roll holder, reinstall the roll retainer and push it against the
roll of tape. (It will center the labels when you push against it) Turn the green locking
knob right to the locked position.
Make sure not to push in too hard on the roll retainer. This can cause drag on the roll
of label tape resulting in printing problems.

NOTE: If your roll of label tape has a three inch core, you will need to install the core
adaptor to stop the roll of labels from dragging on the bottom of the printer.
Center the core adaptor on the roll holder and tighten the locking screw to hold the
adapter in place. Place the roll of labels onto the adapter.

3. Thread the labels under the black roller and out the front of the printer.
4. Make sure that the label roll is between the 2 red label guides and under the label
sensor bar.
5. Adjust the label guides by turning the green adjustment knob on the side of the printer.
Make sure the red guides do not pinch the labels together.

6. Insert the ink ribbon on the back roll and thread it under the printhead and tape it to
the rewind roll. See arrows for which direction the ink ribbon feeds and which way the
rewind roll turns.
7. Plug in the printer and turn it on.
8. Make sure that the label sensor (yellow light) is located directly above the gaps in the
label tape as shown.

9. You adjust the position of the label sensor, (yellow light), with the small red pin that is
located between the printhead locking lever and the knob for adjusting the label tape
guides.
See step #4 for location of the adjustment pin
You will need a pen or something small to push the red pin in, so it pops out.
Turn the pin to adjust the position of the label sensor (yellow light), until it is positioned
over the gaps in the label tape as shown in step 11.
When the label sensor is in the correct position, push the pin back into the printer.
10. Push down on BOTH SIDES of the printhead, and lock the printhead down by rotating
the printhead locking lever fully clockwise.
See step #4 for location of the printhead locking lever
This completes the printer setup
