PRINTER FEATURES
Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and
does not use toner, ink cartridges or a ribbon. Instead, it
uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially
treated labels. Labels are the only supply you will ever
have to buy.
Figure 1 depicts the major components of the printer.
The form-feed button on the front of the printer
advances a single label. The label eject button is used
to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls.
The LED status light allows you to visually determine the
current state of the printer:
• Solid blue - power is on and the printer is ready.
• Flashing blue - labels are not loaded properly or
label spool is empty.

TO LOAD A LABEL ROLL
1. Press the form-feed button to eject the labels that
protected the printer during shipment.
2. Open the top cover and remove any packing
material inside the label compartment.
3. Remove the label spool from inside the cover.
4. Hold the spool spindle in your left hand and place
the label roll on the spindle so that the labels feed
from underneath and the left edge of the label roll is
flush against the side of the spool. (See Figure 5)
5. Place the spool
guide onto the
right side of the
spool and press
the guide tightly
against the label
roll, leaving no
gap between the
roll and the spool.
(See Figure 5)
NOTE: The label roll must fit snugly against both
sides of the label spool (with no gaps) to avoid
drifting as the label feeds through the printer.
6. Align the left edge
of the label with
the left edge of the
label feed slot and
insert the label into
the slot.
(See Figure 6)
NOTE: The printer feeds the labels, stopping
at the beginning of the first label. If the printer
does not feed the labels, make sure the first
label is fully inserted and then press the
form-feed button.
7. Lower the top cover.
NOTE: For Windows, do not connect the printer
to your computer until instructed to do so
during the software installation.
