A. Introduction

Your BMP

91 printer comes pre-installed with almost all the

necessary components.

To start using the printer, you only need to install a ribbon

cartridge and then power up the printer with the AC power

adapter included in the package.

You can also power up the printer with a Lithium Ion 12V battery

pack (optional, not included in the package). If and when you

choose to do so, before you start, please read the warnings and

cautions in the “D. To power the printer with a Battery” section.

The BMP

91 printer is designed to be used primarily as a

standalone printer. You can also use the supplied USB cable to

connect the printer to a personal computer (PC), for example, to

perform system upgrades to the printer, or to print from the PC

using the Print Application software.

B. Loading a Ribbon Cartridge

The BMP

91 printer uses only Brady ribbon cartridges.

You can load/unload the cartridge with the power on or

off.

1. Pull the cover latch and open the printer cover.

Within the printer, near the bottom right hand corner, you

should be able to find an empty cartridge holding area.
