About Your New Printer

With your new 3M™ Portable Labeler PL200 printer, 
you can create a wide variety of high-quality, self-
adhesive labels. You can choose to print your labels 
in many different sizes and styles. The printer uses 
3M™ Portable Labeler Refill Cartridges in widths of 
1/4” (6 mm), 3/8” (9 mm), 1/2” (12 mm), or 3/4” 
(19 mm). 3M label refill cartridges are also available 
in a wide range of materials, such as flexible nylon, 
permanent polyester, vinyl, non-adhesive tag, and 
heat shrink tubes.

Getting Started

Follow the instructions in this section to start using 
your printer for the first time.

Connecting the Power

The printer can operate on battery or AC power. A 
power adapter is included with your printer. 
An optional rechargeable battery pack is included 
if you purchased the hard case kit.
Visit 

www.3m.com/electrical

 for information on 

obtaining an optional rechargeable battery pack.

The printer can operate with six AA alkaline 

batteries for power; however, alkaline batteries 
should only be used as temporary backup power.

To save power, the printer will automatically turn 
off after five minutes of inactivity. 

Connecting the Power Adapter

The printer uses a 110V-240V power adapter. 
Connecting the power adapter with the battery 
pack inserted recharges the battery pack.

To connect the power adapter

1. Plug the power adapter into the power 

connector on the top of the printer. See Figure 2.

Figure 2  

2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into a 

power outlet.

Inserting the Battery Pack

The hard case kit includes a rechargeable, Lithium-
ion battery pack for portable use when not 
connected to the power adapter. As temporary 
backup power, the printer can operate using six AA 
alkaline batteries.

To insert the battery pack 

1. Press the thumb latch on the back of the printer 

to remove the battery compartment cover. See 
Figure 3.
