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.
• The yellow cutter cartridge inside the Label Printer contains a sharp blade for
cutting the printed tape. Keep your fingers away from this cartridge and be
especially careful to keep the cartridge away from small children.
• Do not operate the cutter lever without a tape cartridge loaded in the Label
Printer. Doing so can damage the cutter blade.
• Do not apply excessive force to the tape cutter lever. Doing so can damage
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 15).
• 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 K and L to move the underlining up and down and change the se-
lected 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.
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 or
switch to the AC adaptor as soon as possible after the “BATT” message appears.
Important!
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 cor-
rectly.
• 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 at least once every 2 years.
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.
Power Supply
The Label Printer can be powered by eight AA-size batteries or an optional AC
adaptor (AD-A95100).
E-4
To replace the batteries
1. Turn power off.
• If you are using the optional AC adaptor for power, you should also unplug it
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.
3. Remove all eight of the old batteries.
4. Load a set of eight new batteries into the bat-
tery 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 turn the Label Printer off before you connect the adaptor. Do not
turn power on until the adaptor is connected to the Label Printer and plugged
into and AC outlet.
• Be sure to unplug the AC adaptor from the AC outlet whenever you are not
using the Label Printer.
Turning Power On and Off
Press ON to turn power on, and OFF to turn power off.
Important!
• If you are using the Label Printer for the first time, you should reset it first.
Resetting the Memory
You should reset the memory of the Label Printer before using it for the first
time, after you have not used it for a long time, or if nothing happens when you
turn power on, even after you change the batteries.
Important!
• Resetting Label Printer memory clears its memory of all input data.
To reset the memory
1. Make sure that Label Printer power is off.
2. While holding down the PRINT and ESC keys,
press ON to turn power on.
3. Keeping PRINT and ESC held down, release
the ON key only.
4. Press SET to initialize the Label Printer or ESC to abort the reset operation
without initializing anything.
• See “Initializing the Label Printer” on page 15 for information on the initial
default settings of the Label Printer following the reset operation.
INT?
Auto Power Off Function
If you do not perform any key operation for about six minutes, the Label Printer
automatically turns power off. To restore power, press ON.
To connect the AC adaptor
Connect the adaptor to the Label Printer as illustrated nearby. Plug the other end into a standard
household AC outlet.
Tape Cartridges
Use the procedures described below to load a tape cartridge into the Label
Printer. After you load the tape cartridge, be sure to use the procedure described under “Tape Width Specifications” on page 6 to tell the Label Printer
what is the width of the tape you are using.
