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 is used to advance a single label.

The label eject button is used to remove labels from the printer when changing

rolls. The tape tray release button opens the tape tray to insert or remove a label

cassette.

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.

4. Loading Labels

The LabelWriter Duo printer prints two types of labels: die-cut paper labels (such

as Address or Shipping labels) and D1 label cassettes.

To load die-cut 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.

7Align the left edge of the label with the left edge of the

label feed slot and insert the label into the slot. See

Figure 10.

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.

8Close the top cover.

To load the D1 label cassette

1Press the button on the front of the printer

to open the label cassette tray.

NOTE The first time you use the printer, remove

the protective cardboard insert from the label

exit slot. See Figure 11.

2Make sure the label and ribbon are taut

across the mouth of the cassette and that

the label passes between the guideposts. If

necessary, turn the spool clockwise to

tighten the ribbon.
