See Figure 2. 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 is used to advance a single label. The label eject button is used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls. The tape tray release button opens the tape tray to insert or remove a label cassette. The LED status light allows you to visually determine 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. Figure 2 Form-feed Label feed path and tear bar USB connector DC power connector button and LED Tape tray cover Label roll Top Platen release Label eject button release button Label exit slot Label spool3

The LabelWriter Duo printer prints two types of labels: die-cut paper labels (such as Address or Shipping labels) and D1 label cassettes. To load die-cut labels 1 Press the form-feed button to eject the labels that protected the printer during shipment. 2 Open the top cover and remove any packing material inside the label compartment. 3 Remove the label spool from inside the cover. 4 Hold the spool spindle in your left hand and place the label roll on the spindle so that the labels feed from underneath and the left edge of the label roll is flush against the side of the spool. See Figure 7. 5 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. 6 Insert the label spool into the slot in the printer cover with the labels extending from underneath the roll. See Figure 9. Figure 7 Spool spindle Spool guide Figure 8 Figure 96 7 Align the left edge of the label with the left edge of the label feed slot and insert the label into the slot. See Figure 10. The printer feeds the labels, stopping at the beginning of the first label. If the printer does not feed the labels, make sure the first label is fully inserted and then press the form-feed button. 8 Close the top cover. To load the D1 label cassette 1 Press the button on the front of the printer to open the label cassette tray. NOTE The first time you use the printer, remove the protective cardboard insert from the label exit slot. See Figure 11. 2 Make sure the label and ribbon are taut across the mouth of the cassette and that the label passes between the guideposts. If necessary, turn the spool clockwise to tighten the ribbon. Figure 10 Remove Figure 11 cardboard insert7 3 Insert the cassette and press firmly until it clicks into place. Make sure label and ribbon are positioned correctly. See Figure 12. 4 Press the button to close the label cassette tray. You are now ready to print your first label.
