Follow these steps to install the LabelWriter printer and print your first label.

1. Unpacking your LabelWriter Printer

NOTE For Windows, do not plug the printer into your computer until asked to do so during the

software installation.

1Unpack your printer and save the packing materials.

2Make sure you have all the items shown in Figure 1.

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

Instead, it uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only

supplies you will ever need to buy.

4. Loading Labels

The printer uses two types of labels: die-cut paper labels and D1 tape labels.

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 the label spool.

3Hold the spool spindle in your left hand and place the

label roll on the spindle so that the labels feed from

underneath.

4Place the spool guide on the right side of the spool and

adjust it to fit snugly against the roll. See Figure 7.

5Insert the label spool into the slots in the printer cover.

6Cut the first label in half so that you have a clean edge and insert

the label into the label feed slot. See Figure 8.

The printer feeds the labels, stopping at the beginning of the first

label. If the printer stops without feeding the label, make sure the

label is fully inserted and then press the form-feed button.

7Close the top cover.

Figure 8

To load the D1 tape cassette

1Press the button on the front of the printer to open the

tape cassette tray.

2Set the cassette switch for the size of the tape cassette

that you are inserting. See Figure 9. A notch in the

cassette fits over the switch when the cassette is in the

correct position.

NOTE The first time you use the printer, remove the

protective cardboard insert from between the print head and

pinch roller. See Figure 9.

3Make sure the tape and ribbon are taut across the

mouth of the cassette and that the tape passes between the guideposts. If necessary, turn the

spool clockwise to tighten the ribbon.

4Insert the cassette with the tape and ribbon positioned

between the print head and pinch roller. See Figure 10.

5Press firmly until cassette clicks into place. Make sure tape

and ribbon are positioned correctly.

6Press the button to close the tape cassette tray.

You are now ready to print your first label.
