LabelWriter Printer Features  
Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use ink or toner. Instead, the printer  
uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only supplies  
you will ever need to buy.  
The form-feed button on the front of the printer advances a single label. The label eject button is  
used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls.  
The status light visually shows the current state of the printer:  
Solid blue - power is on and the printer is ready.  
Flashing blue - labels are not loaded properly or the label roll is empty.  
Dimmed blue - printer is in power saving mode.

4. Loading Labels  
Important!  
In order for the labels to feed properly during printing, pay attention to the following when loading  
labels on the spool and into the printer:  
The label spool guide must be pushed flush against the label roll, with no gap. See  
Figure 6.  
The labels must be loaded with the left edge of the label inserted against the left edge of the  
label feed slot. See Figure 8.  
To load a label roll  
1 Press the form-feed button to eject the labels that protected the

guide from the spindle.

4 Hold the spool spindle in your left hand and place the label roll on the  
spindle so that the labels feed from underneath and the left edge of the label roll is firmly  
against the side of the spool. See Figure 5.
