Become familiar with the printer’s major components. See Figure 2.
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 is used to advance a single label.
The label eject button is used to remove labels from the printer when changing
rolls. The tape tray release button opens the tape tray to insert or remove a label
cassette.
The LED status light allows you to visually determine the current state of the
printer:
• Solid blue - power is on and the printer is ready.
• Flashing blue - labels are not loaded properly or label spool is empty.
