Step 1: Load Sticker Media
zOpen up the print head by pressing
down on the two release levers.
zPull the media underneath the print
head with sticker side facing up.
zAdjust left and right media guides to
ensure snug fit.

waste, do not pull any further.

pressing down on the two release
levers.

the supply roll from the bare “pick-up”
roll.
(Tip: hold the bare roll with your left hand and supply roll
with your right. Wind the ribbon a few times by turning the
bare roll clock-wise.)

Step 3: Close the Print Head
zClose the print head by firmly pressing
down until it snaps in place on both
sides.
(Tip: to ensure proper closure, tap each release lever
with your finger. If it springs up, the print head has not
been properly closed. Push down firmly on that side to
lock.)
