Figure 11. Loading Labels
9. Unwind approximately 3.0 feet (91cm) of media from the label roll. If your 
label roll does not have a leader, remove the labels from the backing. The 
empty backing (leader) will act as a leader to thread the media through 
the SLPA components.
10. Pull the brake assembly away from the label roll back stop (behind the 
label roll retainer) to release the tension.
11. Thread the leader around the rollers and toward the media damper using 
the solid white arrow threading diagram etched on the front center wall 
plate.
