The cutter (optional accessory) cannot be used to cut through
labels, only through the liner between the labels. Cutting
through the labels will cause the adhesive to stick to cutting
parts and prevent the cutter from working properly. Media
rolls must be wound with the printable side facing upward to
prevent jamming the cutter.
To load cut-off media
1 Press the release buttons on both sides of the case to open the
top cover. Fold the cover upwards and rearwards.
2 Pull or lift the spindle and remove the empty label roll core (if
present).
Note The PF8d spindle lifts up, but remains attached to the
printer while the PF8t spindle lifts completely out of the
spindle compartment.
3 Insert the spindle into the core of a fresh media roll. Rotate
the spindle to fit the inside diameter of the core (see the core
diameter markings on the spindle).
4 Put the label between the label guides and pull the label
forward.
5 Adjust the label guide to fit the media you are using.
6 Route the media through the slot in the optional cutter
mechanism just in front of the tear bar.
7 Close the top cover.
If you are loading media for the first time or changing
from another type or size of media, see
Gap Sensor" on page
Insert the media through the slot in the back of the printer.
Follow the instructions for the type of media you are using. The
spindle is not used when using an external media supply.
Note Be careful to protect an external media supply from dirt,
grit, dust, water, and direct sunlight.
