WELCOME

Congratulations on your new purchase of the Sport Handheld Label Printer!  
We’ve included this User’s Guide to help you get printing as soon as possible.

With this guide you will learn how to set up your handheld printer, load  
supplies, and create custom labels.

The Sport is the best choice in handheld printing. Lightweight and simple to 
operate, the Sport delivers superior thermal transfer printing performance while 
conveniently fitting in the palm of your hand. With the soft key menu system, 
navigating between menu options and adding custom text and graphic images  
to your labels is now easier than ever. 

The Sport allows you to print labels in the field without having to do any data  
entry on a PC, increasing your label production. The Sport also saves up to 32  
label designs for quick retrieval during future labeling tasks. 

Please contact us for all your labeling needs. From standardized labels to  
custom labels, we’re ready to provide the labeling supplies you need. Call
