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.
4
• 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 with 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 65).
• Use of the Label Printer next to a television or radio may
interfere with reception.

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 eight AA-size batteries or an optional AC adaptor
(AD-A95100). A CR2032 battery is also used as a memory back-up power supply.
Replacing Batteries
A handy low battery power indicator lets you know when battery power is getting too low for
proper operation. The message LOW BATTERY appears on the display if battery power is
low when you perform any of the following operations.
• Switching power on
• Executing a print operation
• Executing a tape feed operation
When the LOW BATTERY message appears, press ESC to clear it from the display. You
should still be able to perform some Label Printer operations, but some power intensive
operations (like printing or tape feed) may become impossible if battery power is too low. In
any case, you should replace batteries as soon as possible or switch to the AC adaptor as
soon as possible after the LOW BATTERY message appears.
Important!
Batteries can burst or leak and damage your unit if you use them the wrong way. 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 battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long time.
• Be sure to replace the main battery in accordance with the battery life noted on the side
of the battery itselt, and the back-up battery once every 1 year.
Warning!
• Never recharge the batteries you use with this 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.
• Low battery power is indicated by poor print quality or power switching off while printing
is in progress.

To replace the memory back-up battery
Before using the Label Printer for the first time, be sure that you first use the following
procedure to install the memory back-up battery that comes with it. Data stored in memory
will be lost if you do not load this battery.
1. Switch power off.
2. Use a small phillips head screwdriver to loosen the screw that
secures the back-up battery compartment cover in place, and
remove the cover.
3. Wipe off the surfaces of a CR2032 battery with a soft dry cloth,
and install it with its plus (+) side facing up (so you can see it).
4. Carefully replace the battery compartment cover and secure it
in place with the screw.
• You should use the above procedure to replace the memory back-up battery once a
year.
To replace the main batteries
1. Switch power off.
• If you are using the AC adaptor to power the unit, you should also unplug the adaptor
from the Label Printer.
2. Open the battery compartment cover on the
back of the Label Printer by sliding it in the
direction indicated by the arrow.
10
3. Remove all eight of the old batteries.
4. Load a set of eight new batteries into the battery compartment, making sure that their positive (+) and negative (–) ends are facing in the
correct directions.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.
AC Adaptor
Note the following important precautions when using an AC adaptor to power your Label
Printer.
• Use only a genuine CASIO AD-A95100 AC adaptor with the same voltage rating as the
household current in your area. Using a wrong adaptor can damage your Label Printer.
• Be sure to switch the Label Printer off before you connect the adaptor. Do not switch
power on until the adaptor is connected to the Label Printer and plugged into an AC

Deleting and Inserting Characters
This section describes everything you need to know about deleting and editing characters
you have already input.
Moving the Cursor
The following points describe how to move the cursor around the display to position it for
deleting and editing characters.
To move the cursor
• Press H to move the cursor to the left, and J to move the cursor to the right.
• Press FUNC and then H to make the cursor jump to the beginning (far left) of the
characters on the display.
• Press FUNC and then J to make the cursor jump to the end (far right) of the characters
on the display.
• Press SHIFT and then H to make the cursor jump to the next newline mark (see “To
input alpha-numeric characters”) or block mark (page 37) to the left.
• Press SHIFT and then J to make the cursor jump to the next newline mark or block
mark to the right.
• Holding down the cursor keys moves the cursor left or right at high speed.
Deleting Individual Characters
You can delete individual characters with either the BS key or the DEL key. The only difference between the operation of these two keys is the location of the cursor.
To delete characters using the BS key
Example: To change the word “commmputer” to “computer”.
1. Use H and J to move the cursor under “p”.
2. Press BS twice to delete the two m’s to the left of the cursor, shifting “puter” to the left as
you do.
• Press FUNC and then J to jump back to the end of the characters for more input.

To delete characters using the DEL key
Example: To change the word “commmputer” to “computer”.
1. Use H and J to move the cursor under the first (far left) “m”.
2. Press DEL twice to delete the two m’s at the cursor’s position, shifting “mputer” to the
left as you do.
• Press FUNC and then J to jump back to the end of the characters for more input.
Deleting a Series of Characters
The Label Priter’s Word Out function lets you delete a series of characters with a single
operation. This operation deletes all characters to the left of the current cursor location, up
to the previous space.
To delete a series of characters
Example: To change “ABC XYZDEF GHI” to “ABC DEF GHI”.
1. Use H and J to move the cursor under the letter “Z”.
2. Press FUNC (the indicator appears on the display), and then BS.
• This deletes everything from “Z” up to the next space to the left of the cursor, leaving
“ABC DEF GHI”.
Using the CLS Function
The CLS function gives you two options for clearing the display. You can either clear all text
from the display, or you can specify a series of text for clearing.
To clear all text from the display
1. Press FUNC and then CLS to display the clear screen
menu.
2. The ALL (all text) option is highlighted, so press SET.
3. Press SET to clear all of the text or ESC to abort the clear procedure without deleting
anything.
