About the Label Dispenser
The label dispenser accessory, which includes the Label Taken Sensor,
removes the liner from self-adhesive label stock as each label is printed.
You manually remove the label at the front of the printer.
After you load media, you need to configure the feed adjust settings. You
may need to adjust the recommended values slightly depending on your
media type, supply method, and roll sizes, or because of individual
differences between printers.
Load Media for the Label Dispenser
If you have the optional label dispenser installed in your printer, the printer
will separate self-adhesive labels from the liner. The label taken sensor
causes the printer to wait for you to remove a label before printing the next
one. You can also install the internal media rewinder if you want to rewind
the liner.
