1. Introduction
With your DuraLabel Toro, producing custom labels and signs is fast and easy. Its
powerful software expands your creative capabilities and simplifies safety compliance.
This versatile, go-anywhere printer comes with a built-in keyboard, mouse and
touchscreen for your convenience.
Because your Toro is a standalone system, you can take it to a remote site, or place it on
a cart and use it anywhere in your facility.
An optional battery provides three hours of continuous printing capability even when
there is no power outlet nearby.
For larger sign projects, Toro can connect to the DuraLabel 9000 sign and label printer.

Graphic Products, Inc. will, at its sole option, repair or replace
any components which fail in normal use. Such repairs or
replacement will be made at no charge to the purchaser for parts or labor, provided that
the purchaser shall be responsible for any transportation cost. This warranty does not
cover loss, damages from accident, or equipment or parts which have been misused,
altered, neglected, carelessly handled, used for purpose other than those for which the
printer was manufactured, or damages resulting from unauthorized service.
2.1.1 REPAIRS
Repairs are warrantied for 90 days. If the original warranty is still in effect, repaired
units will remain under their original warranty or for 90 days from the date of service,
whichever is longer.

warrantied for three years from the date of purchase.
The battery for the DuraLabel 2000 PLUS system is warrantied for one year from the

2.1.3 WARRANTY DETAILS
The warranties and remedies contained herein are exclusive and in lieu of all other
warranties whether express, implied, or statutory, including any liability arising under any
warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, statutory or otherwise.
This warranty gives the purchaser specific legal rights, which may vary from state to
state.
In no event shall Graphic Products be liable for any incidental, special, indirect, or
consequential damages, whether resulting from the use, misuse, or inability to use
the product for any reason including defect. Some states do not allow the exclusion of
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation may not apply in all areas.

4. Getting to Know Your Toro
4.1 Operating System
Due to different licensing agreements, some Toro systems use Microsoft Windows XP
Embedded™ software, while others use Ubuntu Linux™ software. The functions of the
two system types are only slightly different, and are described in this User Guide.
To identify the operating system in use on your DuraLabel Toro, press the system
information icon
on your toolbar. In the lower right part of this window, you will see
the name of the operating system in place on your Toro. If your DuraLabel Toro uses
Ubuntu Linux the system also includes a list of preferred fonts, which can be found by
pressing the help icon
on the toolbar and then pressing the View button for Preferred
Fonts. This list shows which fonts we recommend for use, and similar fonts available on
Windows-based systems.
4.2 Control Panel
Toro’s control panel is centered at the top of the printer.

Supply Feed Button: Press this button to pause or resume a print job. If there is no
current print job, you can hold this button to feed blank supply through the printer.
Printer Status Light: This light glows green to indicate normal operation, and changes
color or blinks to show errors. See the Troubleshooting section for help.
Supply Status Light: If this light is red, supply is low. A blinking red light indicates supply
has almost run out or no supply is loaded.
Battery Status Light: When this light is red, the battery is down to 10% of its charge.
Remaining battery power will last for only a short time. (The Toro battery is an optional
accessory, and is not required when using a standard power outlet.)
Power Button: Press this button to turn your Toro on or off. The indicator light will blink
while Toro is starting up, shutting down, or in sleep mode; it will glow green when Toro is
ready.

upright position.
