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 7.

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.

the labels extending from underneath the roll. See Figure 8.
