LabelWriter Printer Features  
Your LabelWriter printer is a direct thermal printer and does not use ink or toner.  
Instead, the printer uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially  
treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy.  
The form-feed button on the front of the printer advances a single label. The label  
eject button is used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls.  
The LED status light visually shows the current state of the printer:  
Solid blue - power is on and the printer is ready.  
Flashing blue - labels are not loaded properly or label spool is empty.

Remove the label spool from inside the cover.

Place the spool guide onto the right side of the spool  
and press the guide tightly against the side of the  
label roll, leaving no gap between the roll and the spool. See Figure 8.  
NOTE The label roll must fit snugly against both sides of the label  
spool, with no gaps, to avoid drifting as the labels feed through the  
printer. See Figure 8.  
Insert the label spool into the slot in the printer cover with the  
labels extending from underneath the roll. See Figure 9.
