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 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 the label roll is empty.

•Dimmed blue - printer is in power saving mode.

4. Loading Labels

The LabelWriter Twin Turbo printer holds two label rolls, so you can print two types of labels without having to change the label roll. For example, load address labels on one side and DYMO Stamps postage labels on the other side.

Important!

In order for the labels to feed properly during printing, pay attention to the following when loading labels on the spool and into the printer:

•The label spool guide must be pushed flush against the label roll, with no gap. See Figure 6.

•The labels must be loaded with the left edge of the label inserted against the left edge of the label feed slot. See Figure 8.

To load a label roll

1Press the form-feed button to eject the labels that protected the printer during shipment.

2Open the top cover and remove any packing material inside the label compartment.

3Remove the label spool on the left from inside the top cover and pull the spool guide from the spindle.

4Hold 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 firmly against the side of the spool. See Figure 5.

5Slide 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 6.

NOTE To ensure proper feeding of labels during printing, the label roll must fit snugly against both sides of the label spool, with no gaps.

6Insert the label spool into the left slot in the printer cover with the labels extending from underneath the roll. See Figure 7.

7Align the left edge of the label with the left edge of the label feed slot and insert the label into the slot. See Figure 8.

The printer automatically feeds the label, 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.

If the first label on the roll is not a full label, press the form-feed button to eject the partial label.

8Slide the label guide to the left until the label guide aligns with the right edge of the label. See Figure 8.

Make sure that the label guide does not pinch the label.

9Repeat steps 3-8 to load labels on the right side of the printer.

10 Carefully lower the top cover.
