6 Close the top cover. On the PF8t you will first need to close
the print mechanism/ribbon container before closing the
cover.
Note: If you are loading media for the first time or changing
from another type or size of media, perform a label gap sensor
adjustment as described on page 34.
To load peel-off media
1 Press the cover open buttons on both sides of the case to open
the top cover. Fold the cover upwards/rearwards.
2 Open the peel-off mechanism on the front of the printer.
3 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.
4 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).
5 Put the label between the label guides and pull it forward.
6 Peel away the label from the first 10 cm (4 in) of the liner.
7 Thread the liner around the peel-off bar and insert inside the
peel-off mechanism so that it protrudes from the slot below
the mechanism.
8 Hold the labels and pull on the liner until it becomes tight.
9 Close the peel-off mechanism.
10 Close the top cover.
Note: If you are loading media for the first time or changing
from another type or size of media, perform a label gap sensor
adjustment as described on page 34.
