Getting Started
Stored within the printer are numerous standard label layouts that you can access, enter text & then print.
If you have specified a custom designed layout these will be stored in the printer along with the standard
layouts (samp es and the form name wi be enc osed).
When the aundryprint powers up the CD display will show….
Press Y (yes) to recall a stored label layout (form)
(If the disp ay is different from the one on the right refer to page 4 Other Contro Disp ays)
Press the Return/Enter key to retrieve a stored label
Stored label layouts are listed in alphabetical order, labels that have a
numerical digit are listed first.
Either press the arrow keys to scroll through the labels or press the first letter of
the label layout name required to jump to that label.
For this example we are going to use the label layout called A-4 Line, so this
could be found within the stored labels by either pressing A (being the first
letter of the label name) or by scrolling through the layouts using the arrow
keys. Once the name is displayed on the screen simply press the Return/ Enter
key to select it for editing.
The screen will now display the first line of the label. The screen prompt for this
particular label is “ ine 1?” but this can vary in different label layouts.
For the first line of the label we are going to enter the text EXAMPLE LABEL
and press the Return key.
3
We are now prompted to enter text for line 2 of the label.
For this line we have entered THI I LINE 2 again after entering the required
text press the Return key to precede to line 3 of the label.
Text for this line will be A PER ON followed by the Return key.
Text for line four will be A COMPANY WOULD GO as
you can see, if the text is too long for the screen it
simply scrolls along as you type. The keyboard arrow
keys may be used to move /R along the text.
As before press the Return key to enter the line of text.
This particular label is made up of four lines only so now the screen prompts
the user for a quantity of labels to print.
For this example we have entered a quantity of 20.
Press the Return key and the printer will print the entered label 20 times.
Once printing has finished the screen displays the print quantity in-case the
user requires more of the same label (different quantities may be entered).
If you do not wish to print any more of that particular label, press the Esc key and the screen returns to the
first line of the label (by pressing the Esc key twice the screen returns to the Labe s stored se ection).
The aundryprint will remember the label text entered. To leave the line as it is
simply press the Return Key or type new text to replace it followed by the
Return key.
Repeat the processes for the remainder of the label as described previously.
Commonly Used Keys (fig-11)
Enter or Return (key) / confirm typed text into the system.
Exit or go back / exit out of process.

Other Control Dis lays
This is the aundryprint main screen and is normally displayed if the system is
not in keyboard mode.
Exiting out of keyboard mode may be the result of pressing the Esc key too
many times (whi st exiting abe edit mode) or non detection of a keyboard
connected. Check that the keyboard is connected correctly and press the F1
key to go back to Keyboard mode or reset the printer by switching it off / on.
If a fault is detected the screen will toggle between the two displays below, note the ED’s at the top of the
panel are also illuminated (see fig 10).
Check that the thermal tape or ribbon
has not run out and that the print head
has been closed correctly.
Control Panel
It should not be necessary under normal printing to access the control panel buttons as most of the standard
label printing functions can be accessed via the keyboard.
Feed Key
When printing with continuous media, pressing the FEED key will feed media out to a certain length. When
printing with gap labels, pressing the FEED key will feed one label at a time
Pause Key
When pressing the Pause key in standby mode (ready to print), the printer will go into the Pause Mode, and
CD Display will indicate “Pause”. At this status, printer is not able to receive any command. Then pressing
the Pause key once again, the printer will get out of the Pause mode and go back to standby mode.
Pressing the Pause key while printing, printer will suspend the print job. When the Pause key is pressed one
more time, the printer will continue with the rest of the print job. For example, when printing with a print job
that contains 10 labels and then press the Pause key to suspend the print job after 2 labels are printed out. If
the Pause key is pressed again, the printer will print out remaining 8 labels to complete the print job.
Cancel Key
The Cancel key is used to cancel current print job. The CD Display will show “Print job is cancelled” when
pressing the Cancel key during printing. For example, when printing with a print job that contains 10 labels
and then press the Cancel key after 2 labels are printed out. The remaining 8 labels will not be printed, and
the printer goes back to standby mode.

Die Cut Ta e.
If you are using die-cut (gap labels) feed the tape forward or print two test labels to allow the printers internal
auto sensor function to align the tape correctly.
This procedure is required only when the Printhead is unclamped and lifted clear of the tape.
If you are experiencing problems with the tape gap alignment first check the sensor positioning (see below)
then try an auto sensing calibration.
Sensor Adjustment for use with die cut ta e only.
Ta e Centring
Getting the tape centred correctly will ensure that the label sensing function operates correctly.
