Straight-Through Printing
In straight-through printing, a roll of media is loaded on the supply roll and is
fed straight through the printer mechanism and out the label dispense opening
in the front panel. As individual labels are printed, you can remove them from
the roll by pulling them down across the tear-off plate. If you are using the
optional media cutter and tray, this device automatically cuts the printed labels
off the roll and stacks them in the tray.
To load media for straight-through printing
1. Disengage the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise to the UP
position.
2. Slide the retainer to the outer end of the supply mount and flip it down.
3. Remove the old label roll and place the new label roll on the supply mount.
4. Flip the retainer to the upright position and slide the retainer firmly back
against the roll of media.
5. Rotate the media guide down.
6. Insert the label stock through the printer mechanism as shown. Make sure
the label passes between the two forks of the label gap sensor, and that the
front edge of the label passes over the tear-off plate and through the label
dispense opening in the front cover.
7. Rotate the media guide up and slide it to the edge of the media.
8. Engage the printhead by rotating the head lift lever counterclockwise to the
down position and close the printer covers.
9. Press [FEED] to advance several inches of media through the printer and
out the label opening in the front cover. The printer is now ready for
printing.
