About the Leitz Icon Printer
The Leitz Icon printer is the heart of your Icon Smart Labelling System. Using the printer, you can print a wide variety of

change cartridges, you have a choice of paper or plastic self-adhesive labels, as well as non-adhesive card stock. All label
types are available in multiple widths to meet a variety of applications.

Getting to Know the Intelligent Label Cartridge
Leitz Icon Intelligent Label Cartridges are easy to load into the printer and are recyclable*. Each cartridge has a folding
label guide that opens to load and print labels and closes to protect labels during storage. The Intelligent Label Cartridge
uses a special cartridge identification chip to relay information about the label cartridge, such as the type and size of the
labels, the capacity of the label cartridge, and the number of labels remaining, to the software.
Avoid handling the cartridge identification chip as this may damage the chip. If the chip becomes damaged, the label cartridge
NOTE
may not work properly.
*Intelligent Label Cartridges may not be recyclable in your area.
