WARNING:

When using heat shrink tubing, the liner must be cut
or torn along the perforation by hand.  Trying to use
the tear bar to cut the heat shrink liner will not work,
and may damage the tear bar.

To unload the labels, press and release the SHIFT Key and then
press and release the FEED Key.  When reverse feeding labels
that have been printed, or have moved past the ribbon tearbar,
push labels toward drive roller while reverse feeding to prevent
snagging of labels, or tear off excess labels before unloading.

Step 3:  Entering the Label Code:

All LS3E label rolls have a 4 digit label code.  The label
code can be found inside the label core, on a label
attached to the first label on the roll, and also on the box
label.  Using the key pad, key in the 4 digit code and
then press the ENTER Key, or simply press the ENTER
Key if desired label code is already 
displayed in the LCD.

Step 4:  Selecting the Desired Format:

To view the format of your label or to change that format
press the SETUP Key.  This will display the SETUP
menu screens where you may view or change the label
format.  The SETUP menu consists of 11 menus with
between 1 and 11 options per menu.  To change between
each menu use the       or       Keys.  To view options 
within each menu use the     or     Keys.  The option with
the *  beside it shows the selected option.  To select an
option, press the ENTER Key.  An * will appear to the
left verifying your selection.   Once all desired options
and features have been selected press the “X” Key and
this will display the SETUP menu exit screen.  Press the
ENTER Key to exit the SETUP menu and you are ready
to enter your label legend.
