Laundryprint Operators Manual
Please Read First
Your new Laundryprint system will come with a Ribbon already installed.
Ensure that you only use the special Wader Thermal fast ribbon, this product has been laundry wash tested.
The phrase “Form in this manual refers to a Label layout.
Extracts contained in this booklet have come from the OEM enclosed on CD within this system package.
All logos and trademarks are property of the respective owners.
Notes on the two CD’s enclosed with your system .
These discs have been included with your system for reference only.
On the CD’s you will find the two PDF manuals for your printer and Keyboard, these are handy as they include “How To” movies
e.g. Installing a ribbon, tape etc.
There is also software on these disc’s that can be used to program the printer, design & print labels via a personal computer, we
urge caution when using these programs as a incorrect label layout sent via PC will have a global effect on all stored label formats
and you may find that when you then try to use the stand alone keyboard and printer the labels do not print out correctly (Your
warranty with Wader Labelling Systems may also be void)
When using the Laundryprint in standalone setup (As supplied by Wader Labelling Systems) i.e. just keyboard and printer these
discs are not required for actual label printing.

Starting To Print a Label
Once the Laundryprint has been connected to the power supply and you have checked that a ribbon and tape are installed correctly
(see pages 5 & 6) you can now begin to print a label.
Stored within the printer are numerous standard label layouts that you can access, enter text & then print. At the end of this manual
are detail of the layouts stored within the Laundryprint system and will give you an idea of how the printed label will look sizes, fonts
etc (see example 1)
If you have specified a custom designed layout these will be stored in the printer as well (samples and the form name will be
enclosed)
Example 1
When you switch on the screen of the Keyboard will display as below…
For label printing we are only concerned with the first two options the F2 & FORM KEY.
F2 by pressing this key the printer will list all the stored label formats
FORM KEY.
Press this key and the display will ask you to enter the name of the Form/ Label you wish to print.
To load the Example 1 label above simply type W and press the ENTER key.

It will now ask you for the text in the label to be printed i.e.
The screen displays the prompt “Line 1” and you will notice that the cursor is flashing under the text waiting for you to enter you label
text.
For this example we want the first line of the label to say “Another Hospital” so just simply type that in and press the ENTER key.
(See below).
Now the screen prompts you for the second line of the label
For this example enter “WARD 30” followed by the ENTER key.
Repeat this procedure for all the lines available to that particular layout you have selected.
When all the label lines are complete the screen will prompt you for the quantity to be printed.
ENTER you quantity to be printed and press ENTER
The labels should now be printed and cut.

Once the labels have been printed the screen displays the first line of the label again with the previous text you have entered, in this
example it is …
** If you do not wish to print any more labels using this current design or for any other reason press EXIT or ESC to go
back to the main menu and select a new form.
Let’s say you want to keep this line just press ENTER.
Now the second line of the label will be displayed i.e.
WARD 30
You want this line to be Ward 28 this time so simply type in
WARD 28 press ENTER.
Carry on this procedure until the label data is complete. (Just like you did when you first entered the label)
Put the quantity in and press ENTER, as before and the printer starts printing again.
** To select a different label layout press the ESC or EXIT key to go to the main menu where you can retrieve a different form / label.
