8. If the labels or tags are already loaded,
close the Print Head Assembly by pushing
downward on the green tab until it latches
closed.
9. Run a test print to ensure that the labels and
ribbons were loaded correctly.
CAUTION: If your labels are less than the full width of the print head, the outside edge will
eventually wear out a small portion of the print head, resulting in an area that will not print.
Special care must be taken if you plan to use multiple widths of labels, since the damaged
portion of the print head caused from edge wear on a more narrow label may affect the
printing on a wider label. We suggest you plan your print formats carefully to avoid using
the area of possible damage on the print head when using a wider label. The small area
of damage will have no effect on printing with the undamaged part of the print head.
Damage from a label edge is physical damage and is unavoidable. It is not covered by
warranty. It is possible to delay such damage by always ensuring that the ribbon used is
wider than the label stock. This will help to protect the print head from label edge damage.
