Step-by-Step Instructions on Loading Labels
Step 1: Open the printer lid and peel off the protective cover from the label spool holder.
Step 2: Place the label roll on the spool holder with the label side facing downwards. Align the edge of the label roll with the edge of the spool holder and ensure that the roll is centered.
Step 3: Slide the spool holder onto the spool shaft on the printer and push it in until it clicks into place. Make sure that the roll is tightened and the labels are not loose.
Step 4: Thread the end of the label roll through the label guides and feed it into the printer. The label guides are located at the front of the printer. Make sure that the labels are aligned with the printing area.
Step 5: Close the printer lid and turn on the printer. The printer will automatically detect the label size and type and adjust itself accordingly.
Tips for Loading Labels
Tip 1: Make sure that the label roll is the correct size for the printer. The Brother QL-1100 can print labels up to 4 inches wide.
Tip 2: Before loading the label roll, check that the spool shaft is clean and free of any debris. This will ensure that the spool holder can slide easily onto the shaft and click into place.
Tip 3: If the labels are not aligned with the printing area, adjust the label guides accordingly. The label guides can be adjusted by sliding them along the track.
