4. Slide the supply roll retainer up to the edge of the media roll and turn the
supply roll retainer clockwise to secure.
5. Pull down on the lower media guide to allow easy access to the media path.
Make sure that the edge guide slides all the way to the outer edge of the
lower media guide.
6. Insert the label stock through the printer mechanism as shown. Make sure
the label passes between the upper and lower media guides. The front edge
of the media should pass over the tear bar and out the front of the printer.
7. Release the lower media guide and adjust the edge guide to position the
media firmly against the inside wall of the printer.
Note: If you are using thermal transfer media, refer to “Loading Thermal Transfer
Ribbon” later in this chapter before you finish performing this procedure.
8. Lower the printhead by rotating the head lift lever counterclockwise until it
locks.
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.
