3.1 Loading the Media
The following procedure shows the steps to properly load the media into the printer so that it feeds
straight and true through the printer.
The printer prints both labels and tags.
1. Turn off the power and open the Top Cover.
2. Turn the Head Lever to
Free
position, then release the Print Head Block Holder Plate.
3. Open the Print Head Block.
CAUTION!
1. Be careful not to touch the Print Head Element when raising the Print Head Block. Failure to
do this may cause missing dots by static electricity or other print quality problems.
2.
When loading or replacing the media or a ribbon, be careful not to damage the print head with
a hard object like a watch or a ring.
Since the print head element can be easily damaged by shock, please treat it carefully and do
not hit it with any hard object.
WARNING!
1. Do not touch any moving parts. To reduce the risk of fingers, jewellery, clothing, etc., being
drawn into the moving parts, be sure to load the media once the printer has stopped moving
completely.
2. The Print Head becomes hot immediately after printing. Allow it to cool before loading the
media.
3. To avoid injury, be careful not to trap your fingers while opening or closing the cover.
