Note of the following safety precautions before using the label printer for the first time. Keep these safety precautions and operating instructions on hand for future reference.

About safety precaution symbols

The following symbols are used in this manual and on the product itself to alert you and others to the risk of personal and material injury.

Warning

This symbol indicates an item that can result in death or serious personal injury if ignored.

Caution

This symbol indicates an item that can result in serious personal injury or material damage if ignored.

Examples

A circle indicates something you should not do. This symbol indicates you should not try to take something apart.

A black circle indicates something you must do. This symbol indicates you should unplug something.

Warning

Serious malfunction

Continued use of the unit when smoke or a strange odor is coming from it creates the danger of electrical shock. Immediately turn power off. Request servicing from your original dealer.

Never try to take the unit apart

Never try to take the unit apart or modify it in any way. Doing so creates the danger of electrical shock, burn injury, or other personal injury.

Packaging

Keep the plastic bag that the unit comes in out of the reach of small children. Plastic bags create the danger of suffocation for small children.

Batteries

Never charge batteries, try to take batteries apart, or allow batteries to become shorted. Never expose batteries to direct heat or dispose of them by incineration.

Tape Cutter

Never touch the tape cutter while a tape cut operation is being performed. Doing so can result in cuts and other personal injury.

Microwave oven containers

Never affix labels to containers used for heating food in a microwave oven. The label material contains metal, which creates the risk of sparking and burn injury when heated in a microwave oven. Heating in a microwave oven can also cause deformation of the container to which the label is affixed.

Caution

Avoid unstable areas

Never place the unit on a wobbly table or a high shelf. Doing so can cause it to fall, resulting in personal injury.

Water and other foreign matter

Never allow coffee, juice, or other drinks, or flower vases to spill on the unit. Liquid spilled on the unit creates the danger of fire and electrical shock. Should liquid ever spill onto the unit, immediately turn off power. Request servicing from your original dealer.

Never allow metal objects or combustible materials to get into the air vents of the unit. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Location

Avoid leaving the unit in areas subjected to high humidity and large amounts of dust. Such conditions create the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Avoid leaving the unit on a kitchen table, next to a humidifier, or in any other area where it might come into contact with oil vapors or steam. Such conditions create the danger of fire and electrical shock.

Never place heavy objects on the unit. Doing so creates the danger of the unit falling, resulting in personal injury.

Part 1 Getting Acquainted

This part of the manual provides you with important information you need to know in order to use the Label Printer to its full potential. Be sure to read it carefully before using the Label Printer for the first time.

Important Precautions

Keep your Label Printer out of areas subject to temperature extremes, moisture and direct sunlight. The recommended temperature range is 10° to 35°C (50° to 95°F).

Don’t let coffee, juice or other liquids splash onto the Label Printer.

Never let paper clips, pins or other foreign objects get into the tape outlet slot or printer of the Label Printer.

Do not pile heavy objects on top of the Label Printer.

Never try to take the Label Printer apart or attempt your own maintenance.

Do not drop your Label Printer and avoid strong impact.

Do not pull on the tape or try to force it back into the Label Printer.

Do not use benzine, thinner, or other volatile chemicals to clean the exterior of the Label Printer. Use a soft, dry cloth or a cloth dampened in a weak solution of a mild, neutral detergent and water. Wring the cloth out until all excess moisture is removed.

A dirty printer head can cause printing to become smudged. When this happens, clean off the printer head by wiping it with a cotton swab moistened with alcohol (page E-14).

Use of the Label Printer next to a television or radio may interfere with reception.

Label Printer Menus

Label Printer operation is designed to be as simple as possible, thanks to onscreen menus that you can use to select the settings you need. Each menu is described in detail in the sections that follow in this manual, but note the following general points when using them.

The item that is underlined in a menu is the one that is currently selected.

Part 2 Getting Ready

This part of the manual tells you how to load batteries and the tape cartridge, and how to perform other basic setups for the Label Printer.

Important!

Be sure to read this section before attempting to use the Label Printer.

Power Supply

The Label Printer can be powered by six AA-size alkaline batteries.

Replacing Batteries

A handy low battery power indicator lets you know when battery power is getting too low for proper operation. The message “BATT” appears on the display if battery power is low when you perform any of the following operations.

Turn power on

Execute a print operation

Whenever the “BATT” message appears, press SET to clear it from the display. You should still be able to perform some Label Printer operations, but some power intensive operations (like printing) may become impossible if battery power is too low. In any case, you should replace batteries as soon as possible after the “BATT” message appears.

Important!

All data stored in memory is deleted whenever batteries go dead and when you replace batteries. Be sure to keep written backup copies of all important data (text and documents).

Batteries can burst or leak and damage your unit if you do not use them correctly. Note the following important points.

Be sure that the plus (+) and minus (–) sides of each battery are facing correctly.

Never mix batteries of different types

Never leave dead batteries in the Label Printer.

Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the Label Printer for a long time.

Replace the batteries in accordance with the battery life marked on the side of the battery.

Warning!

Never use recharged batteries with the unit.

Do not expose batteries to direct heat, do not short circuit them, and do not try to take them apart.

Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult with a physician immediately.

Be sure to replace the batteries in accordance with the battery life printed on the side of the battery itself.

To load the batteries

Make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) ends of the batteries are facing correctly when you load them.

4. Replace the back cover.

Make sure the back cover is positioned as shown in the illustration when replacing it. Trying to force the cover into place while it is in the wrong position can cause damage to the cover or label printer.

Make sure that the tape cartridge is securely in place and that the back cover is closed securely before using the label printer. A loose tape cartridge can cause print quality problems.
