Section 5: Printing from a Mac

NOTE:

Mac Software Coming May 31st 2018.

A. PRINTER UTILITY SETTINGS (COLOR LABEL 910

UTILITY)

The Color Label 910 Utility is used to interact with the printer

for gathering ink levels, maintenance, alignment, cost

calculation and several other functions.
Once the printer driver has been successfully installed, you

will need to set up the driver with the appropriate print

options. Refer to the following steps to change or verify your

default printer driver preferences. These settings will apply to

all labels printed through your Mac programs.

To Find Color Label 910 Utility:

Color Label 910 Utility automatically installs with your printer

driver and can be accessed through the Printer Setup in Mac

under Apple Icon – System Preferences - Options & Supplies.
1. Connect the printer via USB and turn on the power. The

Color Label 910 Utility accesses most of the information it

uses from the printer itself so the printer must be turned

on and communicating for the program to open.

2. Go to the Apple Icon – System Preferences - Print and

Scan, Options & Supplies and Utility. Once open, the Color

Label 910 Utility has 4 tabs that are arranged on the top of

the window. Each tab opens a screen that has various

similar functions.

Cartridges Tab

(First Tab). Displays utilizes for aligning

the print head, cleaning the print head, and changing

cartridges.

Alignment Tab

(Second Tab). Adjusts vertical and

horizontal print alignment. Changes the Stock Sensor

Mode and toggles the Output Mode.
