Loading Roll Paper - SATO GL4 Series Operator's Manual

2.3 LOADING LABELS AND TAGS (CONT'D)

2.3.1 Loading Roll Paper

1. Lift up the main cover. Make sure that the cover rests
firmly on the top of the printer so that it will not fall
forward and injure your hands.
2. Release the purple Head Lock Latch by pulling it
upwards counterclockwise. The print head assembly
will be lifted up to allow label loading.
3. Route the label into the print head area, going under
the black plastic label stabilizer and over the platen
roller, as shown here. Make sure the left edge of the
label presses against the label edge guide.
4. Adjust the label guide so that it presses against the
label's right-side edge.
5. Turn the Head Lock Latch clockwise to latch the
entire print head assembly into place. The label and
ribbon will also be firmly latched into contact. The
illustration on the right shows you how the printer
looks like after all ribbon and labels have been loaded
correctly.
6. If desired, close the main cover and do a test print to
check that the label roll has been loaded properly. Be
careful not to get your fingers caught at the bottom
ledge when you are closing the main cover.
Caution
• When replacing paper, bear in mind that the print head and its
surrounding area remain hot. Keep your fingers away from these areas
to prevent injury.
• Avoid touching even the edge of the print head with your bare hands.
