2. Connecting Print Station Components
1.
Plug the tablet’s power cord into a power outlet.
2.
Use the USB cable to connect the tablet to the DL9000 Printer.
a. Plug the flat end of the cable into the USB port on the left side of the tablet
b. Plug the other end of the cable into the port on the back of the printer.
3.
Plug the DL9000 Printer’s power cord into a power outlet, and then connect the
other end of the cord to the plug-in on the back of the printer.
Before you power on your DL9000 PS, you should load supplies into the printer. This
process is described in the DuraLabel 9000 QuickStart Guide. When you are ready to
start printing, power on the printer first, using the switch in the back, and then power on
the Print Station tablet with the power switch on the tablet’s left edge.
2.1
Designing and Printing Labels
The DuraLabel 9000 Print Station includes a variety of common software applications,
but two of them are specially designed for creating and editing label designs. These
programs are DuraSuite and LabelForge.
2.1.1
DURASUITE
DuraSuite (the swirling arrow icon in the toolbar) is your best choice when you want to
make a label to match one of these standardized formats:
• Arc Flash labels (to comply with NFPA 70E)
• Pipe Markers (for ANSI/ASME A13.1) and Ammonia Pipe Markers (for IIAR Bulletin
No. 114)
• GHS and HazCom 2012 labels (for the Globally Harmonized System and OSHA’s
implementation of it)
• Facility chemical labels (based on the NFPA 704 “color diamond” standard)
DuraSuite includes databases for these formats, so you can save labels for later
reprinting and quickly search for existing data. DuraSuite also includes a Label Designer
for more detailed label editing.
For detailed instructions on the DuraSuite software, see the DuraSuite User Guide
located in the Manuals folder on your tablet's desktop, or download the most current
