2. Loading Supply

The printer prints both tags and labels. The supply may be

wound with the printable side on either the inside or the

outside.

This chapter explains how to load supply for

•Non-Peel Mode Printing (labels are printed in one strip.

This can be used with Continuous Printing.)

•Peel Mode Printing (one label at a time while the

backing paper rewinds inside the printer. This must be

used with On Demand Printing.)

•Fan-Fold Mode Printing (fan-fold supply is printed in

one strip). Call Service if you would like to use fan-fold

supply.

NOTE: If your printer has a knife, follow the instructions under

"Non-Peel Mode." You cannot use On Demand

printing with a knife. Also, if your printer has a knife, it

does not have the take-up spool shown in the

instructions for loading supply.

If you are going to use thermal direct supply (no

ribbon) and your printer is equipped with a ribbon roll

adapter, turn the thermal supply indicator to the right.

(See "Loading a Ribbon Roll" in Chapter 3.)

Non-Peel Mode

This mode is for both tags and labels. The printer dispenses

the desired amount of supply without separating the backing

paper from the label. This mode is usually used with

continuous printing.

1. Open the front panel.

Loading Supplies

2. Turn the printhead lever to the left to release the printhead.

4. Release the lower supply guide.

If you run out of supply while printing, pull the supply strip
