3. If you have a 9-pin serial port on your computer, attach the 9-

pin connector; if you have a 25-pin serial port, attach the 25-

pin connector. Secure the connector with the two screws. The

connector you do not use can simply hang loose. See Figure

1-2.

Loading Labels

Follow the instructions below to load labels into the LabelWriter

printer.

1. Open the cover so that you have access to the interior of the

printer. Remove any packing material and press the form feed

button to eject the test label that protected the print head

while in transit..

2. Remove the label spool by lifting it straight up from the spool

holder.

3. The spool has two distinct parts. The part with the center

shaft must always be installed on the left side of the

printer when viewed from the front.

4. Remove the right side of the spool by sliding it off the center

shaft.

5. Locate a roll of labels and remove the tape from the end of

the roll. Cut the lead label in half to create a nice straight

edge. The LabelWriter printer grabs a straight edge much

easier than a rough edge.

6. Refer to Figure 1-3 while following these instructions: Slide

your roll of labels over the spool from right to left as shown

in Figure 1-3a. (The labels should roll out from the bottom of

the spool.) Then, re-attach the right side of the spool and push

it firmly against the label roll. If you’re using address labels

or other narrow labels, your spool will look like Figure 1-3b.

If you’re using shipping or other wide labels, your spool will

look like Figure 1-3c.
