IMPORTANT! Make sure the Unwinder and Winder are connected to the Printer and the Winder is
powered ON. This will ensure that the automatic cut function of the Cutter is disabled. ( Cutter can still be
engaged manually by pressing the CUT/EJECT (Cancel) Button .
Be sure to power-off the printer before connecting/disconnecting Winder.
Tip: It is recommended to purchase supplies that were manufactured using soft-release tape, to attach
media to roll core. If not media may not release from core; which will stop/stall the media when it reaches
the end of the roll.
1. Make sure the Unwinder’s Mode switch is set to “Auto” and the Winder is “ON”.
2. Adjust Core Size (Unwinder) :
The Unwinder can fit 1-1/2" or 3"
cores using the reversible Hub
Assembly. To change core sizes,
proceed as follows.
[A] Carefully remove the
retaining-clip holding the Hub
Assembly in place.
[B] Slide the Hub Assembly off
the Shaft. NOTE: Do not lose
the key in the slot in the Shaft.
Each side of the Hub fits a
different size core. (Larger side
fits 3" cores; smaller side fits 1-
1/2" cores.)
[C] Turn the Hub so the desired
core size is facing out. Slide the
Hub Assembly back into place
over the key in the Shaft.
[D] Reinstall the retaining-clip into the groove cut in the Shaft.
3. Load Label/Media Roll:
[A] Slide Roll [A] onto Unwinder
Shaft, labels facing up with the Roll
End facing the Printer.
[B] Slide the Spindle Lock [B] onto
the Shaft until the 4 pins fit into the
roll core.
Manually unwind about 24” of media
to create a leader.
Loosen and reposition the Label Side
Guide [E] to the operator side of the
printer.
[C] Thread the media leader under
the Label Tension Arm [C], and then
up into the printer. Make sure the
leader passes under the Label Side
Guide shaft.
NOTE: Position Drive Press Rollers evenly on label or labels, NOT on label
backing. ( See illustration below .)
