Getting Started  1 

Thank you ...

... for choosing an LX2000e Color Label Printer.  The LX2000e Printer will print razor-sharp 

text and barcodes, vibrant colors, and even stunning photo-realistic photographs directly 

onto rolls of labels, card stock and a variety of other approved media.  
This Operator's Guide is your complete step-by-step guide to quickly and easily setting up 

and printing with your new Color Label Printer!

A. Choosing a Good Location

Place the printer on a flat surface in a location with adequate air circulation to prevent

internal heat build up.

Do not place the printer near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place

subject to direct sun light, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.

Allow for adequate clearance in front of the printer to accommodate the printed label

stock as it is leaving the printer to avoid the possibility of binding or jamming of the

label stock. Except in the case of individual cut labels or connecting to a rewinder, the

printer should sit close to edge of a table so that the printed labels hang from the front

of the printer and fall to the floor or an empty box. This will prevent labels from

bunching up in the front of the printer which can cause print quality issues.

Allow for adequate overhead and left side clearance for opening the top cover to allow

easy access to the label stock and ink cartridge.

B. Unpacking and Inspection

While unpacking your printer, inspect the carton to ensure that no damage has occurred 

during shipping.  Make sure that all supplied accessories are included with your unit.  The 

following items are included in the supply box:
