LOADING PAPER

The 412 can dispense labels in a many different ways. The following two sections explain the
dispensing modes. If narrow stock is used (3.5 inches wide or less), it may be necessary to
adjust the print head support screw (see section 2.6).
Thermal Transfer Note:
The 412 will, on power-up, automatically sense a loaded ribbon and select thermal transfer
mode. Please note that the printer will not select thermal transfer mode if the ribbon is loaded
after the printer is turned on. To correct the situation simply cycle the power once the ribbon
has been loaded.
