SUPPLY LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
This sheet contains only the supply loading procedures. Please be sure to read the Owner’s Manual in the
CD-ROM for further information about this printer.
1. Loading the Media
This section describes in detail how to load a media roll.
1. Turn OFF the printer.
2. Turn the Cover Open Levers frontward, and open
the Top Cover.
3. When the inner core diameter of the media roll is
25.4 mm (1”), remove the Media Holder Spacers
from the Media Holders. The Media Holder
Spacers are required to print media rolls with 38.1-
mm (1.5”) inner core diameter.
4. Insert the Media Shaft into the paper core so that the
print side faces up as shown below.
5. Hold the Media Holder with the smooth side facing
the media roll, align the Media Holder’s centre hole
with the Media Shaft, and then install the Media
Holder by sliding it onto the Media Shaft. Make
sure that the media roll is positioned at the centre of
the Media Shaft.
WARNING!
1. Do not touch any moving parts. To reduce the risk of fingers, jewellery, clothing, etc. being drawn
into the moving parts, be sure to load the media once the printer has stopped moving completely.
2. To avoid injury, be careful not to trap your fingers while opening or closing the Top Cover.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to touch the Print Head Element when opening the Top Cover. Failure to do this ma
y
cause
missing dots by static electricity or other print quality problems.

Sensor to the correct position.
The Feed Gap Sensor is included in the right Media
Guide. Position of the Feed Gap Sensor can be set

NOTE:
The Black Mark Sensor is movable in a range of media
width.
When using the Black Mark Sensor, it should be
positioned in line with the centre of the black
marks on the reverse side of the media.
There are three issue modes available for this printer.
Batch mode:
In the batch mode, the media is continuously printed and
fed until the number of media specified in the issue
command has been printed.
Strip mode (Option):
When issued in the strip mode, labels are automatically
removed from the backing paper each time a label is
printed.
• How to set the media
When issuing labels in the strip mode, set the label in the
following procedure:
1. Load the media as described on the previous pages.
2. Open the Strip Block by pulling it out.
3. Feed the paper through the Media Guide until it
extends past the platen.
4. Remove enough labels from the leading edge of the
media to leave about 200 mm of backing paper free.
CAUTION!
To separate the printed media from the media roll in
batch mode, be sure to tear off the media at the
Media Outlet or cut the media past the Strip Plate. If
you tear off the media at the Print Head by mistake,
be sure to feed one label (10 mm or more) with the
FEED/PAUSE Button prior to a next issue. Failure to
do this may cause a paper jam.
Black Mark Sensor is movable
in the full range.

5. Pass the backing paper over the Platen and the Strip
Plate, and insert the leading edge of the backing paper
into the Backing Paper Slot.

Cut mode (Option):
When the Cutter is installed, the media is automatically
cut.
After loading the media as described on the previous
pages, insert the leading edge of the media through the

CAUTION!
1. Be sure to cut the backing paper of the label. Cutting labels will cause the glue to stick to the cutter which
may affect the cutter quality and shorten the cutter life.
2. Use of tag paper of which thickness exceeds the specified value may affect the cutter life.
The cutter is sharp, so care must be taken not to injure yourself when handling the cutter.
