INTRODUCTION Thank you for your investment in the BrailleRx prescription label printer.

Device Location Be sure the surface the BrailleRx is sitting on, and the environment around it, satisfy the following characteristics for reliable and safe operation. • After assembling the printer stand that shipped with the BrailleRx, place the printer on the stand. If you do not use the stand, place the printer on a surface that is flat, level, free from vibration, and has clearance underneath for the label media to sit.

Plug the included power cable into the back of the printer, then into an electric outlet. Turn the power on with the switch on the right side of the printer, and be sure the Media Selector Lever is in the rearward position.
Media Identification Be sure to use BrailleRx label media with Part # 01-00202-0007. A box of labels will look like the image below: Loading Label Media The sides of the label media have rows of holes that must align with the printer’s feed tractors. The tractors have flip-up covers that press the media’s side holes against the rotating tractor belts, as well as traversal locking levers used to match the width of the tractors with the width of the media.

Push the #2 tractor (below) as far from center as it will go, and lock it in place. With the glossy/label side up, secure the media in the #2 tractor. While unlocked, secure the media in the #1 tractor, lightly pull the media taut, and lock the tractor in place. Install the Output Shelf so that it sits flat.
