1. Open the cover, fig. 1 (9) and hinge down the control panel, fig. 1 (16).
2. Take the roll holder, fig.1 (13) out of the holder slots, fig.1 (11) in the printer.
3. Press down the lever (3) on the edge stop 2 (2) and pull the edge stop off the label core (4).
4. Mounting or dismounting the adapter see section 6.1.1 on page 14. Slide the label rolls over the label
core (4) and place it against the edge stop 1 (1) so that it is guided by the adapter (5) and the flange
of the edge stop. In so doing, ensure that the labels are facing up irrespective of the direction on the
unwound strip.
5. Remount the edge stop 2 (2) on the label core (4) and, with the lever pressed (3), slide it against the
label roll. In so doing, the label roll is automatically set in the centerline by the edge stops. Place both
edge stops against the label roll, and release the lever (3).
6. Place the roll holder back into the holder slots on the printer. Ensure that the rounded surfaces of the
edge stop are facing forward (see fig. 1).
7. Press the release button, fig.1 (14) and hinge the print module up.
8. Feed the label stock forwards under the deflector (6) and over the print roller (9) until it projects about
15 cm out of the printer.
9. Move the label guides (8) apart with the setting wheel (7) until the labels can pass between them.
Press the strip label down with the hand, and move the label guides (8) back up against the edges
of the label.
10. Hinge the print module down and press evenly on the two marked surfaces so that the unit snaps in
on both sides.
11. Feed the label stock out through the slot in the control panel (18 - fig. 1). Hinge up the control panel
(fig. 1 - 16) and close the cover (fig. 1 - 9).
