Peel-Off Mode Media Loading
(Rewind Option Required)
Figure 2 illustrates a printer with the Rewind Option. To insure proper
media loading, see Figure 2 and follow the procedure below.
1. Remove the Rewind Plate if one is present and store it on the two mount-
ing screws on the inside of the front panel. Align the notch in the bracket
so the Label Available Sensor (shown in Figure 14 on page 61) can
detect a peeled label.
2. Load media as shown in Figure 1 or 2.
3. Remove the Hook from the Rewind Spindle.
4. Remove the labels from about one yard (one meter) of the media backing
and then wind the backing around the Rewind Spindle and reinstall the
hook. Make sure that the media backing is against the Backing Guide
Plate.
5. See “Adjusting the Transmissive Media Sensor Assembly Position” on
page 15.
Removing the Label Backing Material
(Rewind Option Required)
Since the Backing Rewind Spindle holds the backing from a standard-size
media roll, we recommend that you perform this procedure whenever you
change the media.
To remove the backing material from the Backing Rewind Spindle, follow
these steps (you don’t need to turn the printer power off for this procedure):
1. Unwind about one yard (one meter) of backing from the Backing
Rewind Spindle and cut it off at the spindle.
2. Pull out the Spindle Hook and slide the backing material off of the spin-
dle and discard.
3. Wind the media around the Rewind Spindle once or twice and reinstall
the Spindle Hook. Continue winding to remove any slack in the media.
