4 Route the media through the print mechanism.

slot at the rear of the printer and route it the same way as you
would a media roll.
6 Reset the label feed guide and the printhead lever.
7 Close the media cover.
8 Press the Print button to advance the media. If you are switching

calibrate the sensors on the printer.
Loading Media for Peel-Off (Self-Strip) Printing
Use the procedure in this section when you are using self-adhesive
labels that are separated from the liner immediately after printing.
Peel-off printing is also called self-strip printing. With peel-off
printing, you use the label taken sensor to sense when a label has been
removed. After a label is removed, the sensor lets the printer know it is
okay to print another label. Peel-off printing only supports self-
adhesive labels with a liner.
You can also use this procedure to load media for batch takeup. For
batch takeup, both the label and liner are rewound and the label taken
sensor is not used.
