3. If you have a 9-pin serial port on your computer, attach the
9-pin connector;
if you have a 25-pin serial port, attach the 25-pin
connector. Secure the connector with the
two screws. The con-
nector you do not use can simply hang loose. It doesn't need to
be connected and
will not cause any damage to your computer or
printer. See Figure
1-4.

4. Turn the computer on.
Note: You can also connect your Labelwriter to a parallel (LPT)
port by using a parallel
to serial port adapter cable. This cable is
available direct from Costar. Ask for part #60606.
Installing the
label guide
The label guide should be installed if you are using a Labelwriter
with standard address labels
or other narrow labels. The label
guide insures that narrow labels feed properly.
r
Note: The Labelwriter XL and BC have I I' wide print heads and
can only print on narrow labels up
to I 'I wide (address labels for
example)
so the label guide should always be installed if you are
using one
of these two models. The Labelwriter XL Plus and BC
Plus have 2.25" wide print heads
so they can handle narrow and
wide labels.
For the wider labels, the label guide should be
removed.
