Getting Acquainted

Label Printer Menus

Label Printer operation is designed to be as simple as possible, thanks to onscreen menus that you can use to select the settings you need. Each menu is described in detail in the sections that follow in this manual, but note the following general points when using them. The item that is underlined in a menu is the one that is currently selected.
This part of the manual provides you with important information you need to know in order to use the Label Printer to its full potential. Be sure to read it carefully before using the Label Printer for the first time.

General Guide

Currently selected item
AB 6. 6 cm CAS I O COMP U T E R COMP A N Y
Use c, v, x and z to move the underlining left, right, up and down and change the selected item. Press SET to execute the underlined item, or ESC to exit the displayed menu (and return to the previous menu or screen) without selecting anything. When you press SET to execute a menu item, the Label Printer either moves on to the next menu, or it executes the selected function and returns to the text input screen that you started from.

Reattach the cover as shown in the illustration. Take care to avoid excessive bending of the cover, which creates the risk of damage to the tabs and holes.

Part 2

Getting Ready
This part of the manual tells you how to load batteries and the tape cartridge, and how to perform other basic setups for the Label Printer. Important! Be sure to read this section before attempting to use the Label Printer.
Warning! Never use recharged batteries with the unit. Do not expose batteries to direct heat, do not short circuit them, and do not try to take them apart. Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. If swallowed, consult with a physician immediately.

Memory Data Backup

Never remove the batteries or disconnect the AC adaptor (page E-9) while the printer is turned on. Also, make sure that the display is completely blank after turning off the printer before removing the batteries or disconnecting the AC adaptor. Removing the batteries or disconnecting the AC adaptor at the wrong time can cause loss of text you are working on, as well as data you have stored in printer memory. Be sure to keep separate backup copies of all important data you have stored in printer memory. Important! The printer may suddenly turn off during printing if battery power goes low. Because of this, use of the optional AC adaptor (page E-9) is recommended to power the printer. Whenever switching between battery power and AC adaptor power, be sure to first turn off the printer. Only then should you connect the AC adaptor or load batteries. Connecting the AC adaptor or loading batteries while the printer is on can cause power to turn off automatically, resulting in loss of text you are working on.

Power Supply

The Label Printer can be powered by six AA-size alkaline batteries or an optional AC adaptor (AD-A95100).

4. Replace the battery compartment cover. Important! If you are using the Label Printer for the first time, you should reset it first.

Resetting the Memory

You should reset the memory of the Label Printer before using it for the first time. Important! Resetting Label Printer memory clears its memory of all input data.
Retrieving a Sentence from Memory
If power is turned off or if Auto Power Off is triggered while you are creating a sentence, the sentence that was being created is saved temporarily in printer memory. The next time you turn on power, the message [SET] TO RECALL will appear. Pressing SET will display the sentence currently stored in memory.
* A sentence being created with Layout Printing, Numbering and Bar Code cannot be restored.

To reset the memory

1. Make sure that Label Printer power is off. 2. While holding down the PRINT and SPACE keys, press ON/OFF to turn power on. This prompt confirms whether or not you want to initialize the Label Printer.

Tape Cartridges

Use the procedures described below to load a tape cartridge into the Label Printer. Important! Never try to push the tape back into the cassette. Once tape is out of the cassette, there is no way to wind it back in. Trying to do so can cause operational problems with the Label Printer. The following are the tape widths that can be used with this printer: 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm, 24mm.
I N I T I AL I ZE? SE T / ESC
3. Release the PRINT, SPACE, and ON/OFF keys. 4. Press SET to initialize the Label Printer or ESC to abort the reset operation without initializing anything.

To load a tape cartridge

1. Make sure that the Label Printer is turned off. 2. Hook your finger under the center of the cassette cover and then lift up to open the cover.

Display Language Setting

You can select English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, or Swedish as the language to be used for display messages. For information about how to change the language setting, see page E-31.

Auto Power Off Function

If you do not perform any key operation for about six minutes, the Label Printer automatically turns power off. To restore power, press ON/OFF. Never touch the print head or other metal objects near the head. These items become very hot, and touching them creates the risk of burn injury.
3. Remove the stopper from a new tape cartridge and check to see that the tape is ready to use. Make sure that the tape is under the tape guide and that it is not bent or twisted.
