2. Rotate the media guide down.
3. Insert the label stock through the back of the printer into the printer
mechanism, making sure the front edge of the media passes over the tear-off
plate and through the label dispense opening in the front cover.
4. Rotate the media guide up and slide it to the edge of the media.
5. Engage the printhead by rotating the head lift lever counterclockwise to the
DOWN position.
6. Close the printer covers. Make sure the fanfold media can move freely
through the gap in the back of the side cover.
7. 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.
Adjusting the Label Gap Sensor
If you are using die cut or tag stock media, you may need to adjust the label
gap sensor. The label gap sensor detects the gap between individual labels of
die cut media, and detects the notch separating tag stock labels. The printer
uses this information to index the labels.
If the printer is not sensing the media, try adjusting the sensor position by
turning the adjusting knob for the movable label gap sensor. The sensor is
near the end of the two prongs that guide the media through the label gap
sensor. Turning the knob clockwise moves the sensor away from the inside
wall of the printer; turning the knob counterclockwise moves the sensor toward
the inside wall of the printer.
If the media feeds forward only about 2.5 inches each time you press the
[FEED] button, and does not seem to be stopping on a label edge, the printer
may be configured for continuous stock instead of interlabel gap stock.
Download the correct label stock configuration command, found in Chapter 7,
“Printer Commands,” and then press [FEED].
