Store it on the two mounting screws on the inside of the front panel.
2. Open the printhead.
3. Slide the media guide and media supply guide as far from the printer
frame as possible. Flip down the media supply guide.
4. Load media as shown.
5. When loading media, allow approximately 36” (914 mm) of media to
extend past the tear-off/peel-off bar. Remove all labels from this
portion to create a leader.
6. Remove the hook from the rewind spindle. If you are using a core,
slide it onto the rewind spindle until it is flush against the guide plate.
7. Wind the label backing around either the 3” (76 mm) core or the rewind
spindle and reinstall the hook.
8. Flip up the media supply guide. Slide in the media guide and media
supply guide so they just touch, but not restrict, the edge of the roll.
Before closing the printhead, make sure:
n
The media is positioned against the inside guides.

The media is taut and parallel with itself and the pathway when wound
onto the rewind spindle/core.
9. Close the printhead.
10. To discard the label backing from the rewind spindle, refer to
