Figure 1-6. Insert labels into the feed slot before placing the label roll into
the printer.
5. Be certain that the power cord is connected. Now turn on the
printer. The green power light will flash and you
will hear the
printer’s motor turning as
it looks for labels to feed.
6. Holding the spindle of labels in one hand, use your other hand
to feed the free end of the roll into the feed slot on the inside of
the printer, as shown in Figure 1-6. (If it’s easier, you can rest the
label spindle on the top edge of the printer, freeing both hands
to
help with getting the label feeding started.)
7. Push the end into the slot until you feel a slight resistance.
Continue pushing gently. The label feed motor
will grab the end
and carry the labels through the printer and out the exit
slot,
stopping automatically at the end of the first label.
If the motor stops turning while you’re
still in the process of load-
ing labels, just press the form feed button to get
it started again.
(To protect itself, the motor stops turning after a few seconds.)
8. Return the label roll spindle with the labels to the spindle
holder. The spindle
will settle into the raised shoulder slots in the
printer. See Figure
1-7.
