Operation Manual
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.
