Section 2: Hardware and Software Setup

2A Installing Label Stock

Your printer will utilize a wide variety of paper label stock. As long as the label stock is paper and can receive ink jet printing and is within the allotted size, it will work in the printer. Primera carries a large variety of paper label stock that has been converted and ready for use with your printer.

  1. Open the Top Cover.
  2. Pull the spring loaded label stock guide out far enough to fit the label stock.
  3. Remove any shipping tape from your label stock roll to ensure that it can unroll freely, making certain that no adhe-siveportion is exposed. It is important to note that any exposed adhesive surface can attach itself to the inner workings of the print mechanism and cause a media jam.

Note: If you are using fan-fold label stock or label stock other than standard square / rectangular die cut labels, see Sections 2B and 2C for additional instructions

6. Quickly continue feeding the label stock further into the printer until you feel resistance from the feed rollers. The printer will sense the label and automatically feed it through the printer. If the printer fails to feed the label stock, press the Load/Feed button to manually engage the feed roller while continuing to guide the label stock into the printer.
