User's Guide

Important Tips

1. Always press and hold the green Print Button,
wait for the “P” to appear, then slide across
media while keeping Print Button pressed.

2. The machine may automatically turn off if the
purple button on the back of the unit is pressed,
so do not rest your palm on the back of the
machine during use.

3. The Design Runner has a battery save feature
and will automatically turn off when not in use.

4. The Design Runner has an optical sensor on
the bottom that ‘tells’ the machine to print
when moved with the green Print Button pressed.
If the optical sensor is stationary it will not print.
If the sensor is placed on something reflective
(glass or a lacquered table) the machine will not
sense any movement and will not print.

-Note: Place paper on your reflective surface (under the

sensor) before printing

5. Be sure to place the Design Runner back on its
docking station when not in use to help protect
the print head and keep the ink cartridge from
drying out.

Positioning Prints

1. After pressing the green Print Button, the screen
shows a “P” in the lower left corner.
Keep green button pressed when printing.

2. In most cases it appears so quickly it is not noticed,
however with long images (for an 8” phrase) it will
take 2-3 seconds to appear.

3. Place the + located on the bottom right or left of the
Design Runner where you would like the image to
begin printing

4. The + located on the screen marks the beginning
the image.

5. The + located on the bottom right or left hand side of
the Design Runner marks where the image will begin
printing on the media (paper, ribbon, etc.)

6. When using the + located on the right, glide the
Design Runner to the right to print and the image will
start printing at the beginning; when using the +
located on the left, glide the Design Runner to the
left to print and the image will start printing at the end
point.

The black dot is marked
on the paper to identify
the point at which
the printing is desired.

Line up the crosshair + on
the black dot.

The print will begin on the
paper as it appeared on the
screen.

on the screen, press and hold the green Print Button, wait for the “P”
and then slide the Design Runner across a piece of scrap paper.

slightly damp paper towel and wipe off the ink head. Repeat Step 1 & 2
until the unit prints properly (as shown “b” below).

the printer on the base.

2. Keep a new cartridge in its
packaging until you are ready
to install it.

container.The cartridges do not
print correctly if left exposed for
an extended period of time.
