LabelWriter Printer Features

Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use ink or toner.

Instead, the printer uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially

treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy.

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 visually shows 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.

4. Loading Labels

To load labels

1Press the form-feed button to eject the labels that

protected the printer during shipment.

2Open the top cover and remove any packing

material inside the label compartment.

3Remove the label spool from inside the cover.

4Hold 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 7.

5Place the spool guide onto the right side of the spool

and press the guide tightly against the side of the

label roll, leaving no gap between the roll and the spool. See Figure 8.

NOTE The label roll must fit snugly against both sides of the

label spool, with no gaps, to avoid drifting as the labels feed

through the printer.

6Insert the label spool into the slot in the printer cover

with the labels extending from underneath the roll. See

Figure 9.

NOTE The label roll must fit snugly against both sides of the label spool, with no

gaps, to avoid drifting as the labels feed through the printer.
