Important Safety Precautions
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.
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.
English
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.
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 e ver 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.
E-1
Batteries
• Misuse of batteries can cause them to leak acid that can cause damage to nearby items and creates the possibility of personal injury.
• Be sure that the plus (+) and minus (–) sides of each battery are
facing correctly.
• Never mix batteries of different types.

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 temper ature 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.
Currently selected item
• Use H and J to move the underlining left and right and change the selected
item.
• Press SET to execute the underlined item, or ESC to exit the displayed menu
(and return to the previous menu or screen) without selecting anything.
• When you press SET to execute a menu item, the Label Printer either moves
on to the next menu, or it executes the selected function and returns to the
text input screen that you started from.

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 displa y.
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
Caution
• Do not touch the springs inside the battery
compartment cover with your fingers while
loading or replacing batteries. The springs
have sharp areas and can cut your fingers.
1. Turn power off.
2. Turn over the label printer. While pressing
down on the back cover lock remove the
back cover as shown in the illustration.
3. Load batteries into the battery compartment.
• Be sure to use alkaline 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.
