roller release lever
[I]
.
5.
Unpack a roll of labels and
remove enough labels to
leave approximately two
feet of exposed label liner.

Load the label roll onto the supply hub
[F]
so that the labels spool off to the left. Push the
label roll flush against the inner supply disk

firmly on the guide collar.

Pull the labels to the left and through the label edge sensor
[K]
. This sensor locates the
leading edge of a label, by measuring the level of opaqueness. You can move it left and
right to accommodate different activators (label edge or backprinted, black stripe). The
black stripe sensor locates the leading edge of a label by measuring the level of reflectivity
instead of a change in opaqueness.
12.
Loop the labels over the label peel blade
