Step 1: Setup & Installation of Ink Ribbons & Labels

 

  1. Follow the step-by-step instructions that are inside the printer to install the ink ribbon that was included in your order.
  2. Setup the external roll mount that was included in order to feed the labels through the back of the printer as the labels don't fit inside the printer. Please see attached photo of what my printer looks like in order to get a better understanding of feeding the label through the back of the printer.

Step 3: Download the "Printer Utility" Software (Only if you're trying to network the printer via Wi-Fi and/or Ethernet) - IT Team Recommended!

  3. If you need any guidance during this process, please follow the guide attached to the email -> "Printer Utility User Manual"
  • This is the manufacturer's FAQ page, giving you full guidance on the setup!


Ethernet Video Setup
1. Please watch this video for a better understanding of how to setup the printer via "Ethernet". Please ensure that the printer is connected via "Ethernet" cord. Also during the "Printer Utilities/Networking" setup, please ensure that the printer is connected to the computer via "USB" for it to register. Once networked, you can unplug the "USB" device.
