    NOTE
    • Position the printer and the external roll holder so that the top of the printer's Rear Feed Port is higher than the media roll's pull-out position.

    • Place the roll with the printing surface facing up.
    • Do not allow external roll to touch any cables attached to the printer.
    • Depending on the roll size and installation method, the roll may become overloaded and cannot feed labels/media. If this happens, reduce the printing speed.
    • Make sure the labels pass under the Media Roll Holder, as shown in the illustration.

    CAUTION
    Be careful when closing the Roll Compartment Cover. There is a risk of injury if your finger gets pinched between the upper and lower parts of the cover.
IMPORTANT
  • Do not leave any printed labels in the printer. Doing so will cause label jams.
  • When the printer is not in use, remove any media from it and close the Roll Compartment Cover.

When printing die-cut labels, make sure that the label pull-out position is lower than the Rear Feed Port. If fed from above, the front edge of a die-cut label could catch on the upper part of the Rear Feed Port, peel from its backing, and jam the printer.

We recommend checking the roll each time you print die-cut labels to confirm the correct label pull-out position and the Rear Feed Port height, as shown in the illustration.
