Tear-Off Mode
Tear-Off Mode is the default mode. The printer is set to this mode in the factory.
To load media in Tear-Off Mode, complete these steps:
1. Press the printhead open lever. The printhead assembly springs up.
2. Flip down the media supply guide.
3. Slide out the media guide as far from the printer frame as possible.
4. Place the roll of media on the media supply hanger and orient the media properly.
5. Flip up the media supply guide.
6. Slide in the media supply guide until it touches, but does not restrict, the edge of the roll.
7. Feed the media under the dancer, through the slot in the transmissive sensor, under the
ribbon sensor, and out the front of the printer.
8. Ensure the media is against the back of the transmissive sensor. Slide in the media guide
until it touches, but does not restrict, the edge of the label.
9. Close the printhead assembly.
10. The printer is paused (the Pause light is on), press PAUSE to enable printing.
Caution • Ensure that the printhead is fully open and engaged in the upright
position. If you fail to latch the printhead, it could fall on your hand during the
procedure.
