3. If you have a 9-pin serial port on your computer, attach the 9-
pin connector; if you have a 25-pin serial port, attach the 25-
pin connector. Secure the connector with the two screws. The
connector you do not use can simply hang loose. See Figure
1-2.
Loading Labels
Follow the instructions below to load labels into the LabelWriter
printer.
1. Open the cover so that you have access to the interior of the
printer. Remove any packing material and press the form feed
button to eject the test label that protected the print head
while in transit..
2. Remove the label spool by lifting it straight up from the spool
holder.
3. The spool has two distinct parts. The part with the center
shaft must always be installed on the left side of the
printer when viewed from the front.
4. Remove the right side of the spool by sliding it off the center
shaft.
5. Locate a roll of labels and remove the tape from the end of
the roll. Cut the lead label in half to create a nice straight
edge. The LabelWriter printer grabs a straight edge much
easier than a rough edge.
6. Refer to Figure 1-3 while following these instructions: Slide
your roll of labels over the spool from right to left as shown
in Figure 1-3a. (The labels should roll out from the bottom of
the spool.) Then, re-attach the right side of the spool and push
it firmly against the label roll. If you’re using address labels
or other narrow labels, your spool will look like Figure 1-3b.
If you’re using shipping or other wide labels, your spool will
look like Figure 1-3c.
