Loading Media And Ribbon
•
Peel-Off . When the optional internal rewinder is installed, the printer
prints and peels die-cut labels from the liner without user assistance. The
label liner is wound on the rewinder. The printer waits for you to take
away the label before printing the next one (on-demand printing). A
“Remove Label” message will display to remind you to remove the label
before the next one can be printed. For Label Peel-off information, see
page 48.
•
Cut . When the optional media cutter is installed, the printer automatically
cuts media after each label is printed or can cut the media after a
specified number of labels have been printed using a software cut
command.
Once you have decided on the mode, configure the printer. See Chapter 3 for
more information.
Loading Media And Ribbon
NOTE: This section describes the procedures for loading various types of
media and ribbon. You can also refer to instructions on the printer
itself, on a label on the inside of the media cover.
The term “media” in this manual refers to all the different kinds of paper, label,
or tag stock material that can be printed on by the printer. Your thermal printer
can print on continuous paper, adhesive backed labels, or non-adhesive tags
packaged in roll or fanfold form.
CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH the printhead or the electronic components under the
printhead assembly. The discharge of electrostatic energy that
accumulates on the surface of the human body or other surfaces can
damage or destroy the printhead or electronic components used in this
device.
CAUTION
Do not close the pivoting deck without label stock installed between the
printhead and the platen, because debris on the platen may damage the
printhead.
IMPORTANT
Adhesive backed labels that DO NOT lay flat on the liner can jam the
printer. This can cause the label to peel off the liner. The exposed edges
can stick to the label guides and rollers inside the printer.
If you run out of labels while printing, do not turn off the printer while
reloading labels, because you can lose data.
