9 Use PrintSet, your third-party software, or the IPL command set to
configure the printer for the kind of media you are using (continuous or
mark label). Refer to the PrintSet online help, your third-party
documentation, or the IPL Programming Reference Manual for help.
10 Press Feed/Pause to advance several inches of media through the printer
and out the label opening in the front cover. Your printer is now ready
to print labels.
Note: Refer to the label located on the inside of the media cover for
directions on loading media. For your convenience, you may want to refer
to it when loading media in the future.
Loading Media for Self-Strip Printing
Use self-strip printing in applications where you want to apply labels to a
surface immediately. After printing a label, the printer prints out the label
with the backing removed. The rewinder hub collects the backing after it
passes over the self-strip assist roller. The rewinder hub can hold the
backing from an entire roll of media.
Note: You should find a small label with a three-digit sensitivity number
printed on it attached to your roll of media or a 15-digit number stamped
on the side of the media roll. Save this information. You will need it to set
the correct media sensitivity number. See “Setting the Media Sensitivity
Number” on page 24 for help.
To load self-strip media
1 Raise the printhead by rotating the head lift lever clockwise until the
printhead disengages.
2 Turn the supply roll retainer counterclockwise to release it and slide it
to the outer end of the supply roll post. Turn it clockwise to lock it in
place.
3 Place the media roll on the supply roll post and position it firmly against
the inside wall of the printer.
4 Turn the supply roll retainer counterclockwise and slide it up to the
edge of the media roll. Turn the supply roll retainer clockwise to secure.
Note: If you are using a narrow roll of media, less than 7.62 centimeters
(3 inches), insert the media support between the roll of media and the
supply roll retainer before securing it.
