when the AC Adapter is unplugged, keep AA alkaline
batteries (LR6) installed in the Label Maker.
• When power is disconnected for more than two minutes,
all text and format settings will be cleared. Any text les
stored in the memory will also be cleared.
• Remove the batteries if you do not intend to use the
Label Maker for an extended period of time.
• Dispose of the batteries at an appropriate collection point,
not in the general waste stream. In addition, be sure to
observe all applicable federal, state, and local regulations.
• When storing or discarding the batteries, wrap them (for
example with cellophane tape), to prevent them from
short-circuiting.

• Refer to the Set Margins section in this guide and select [Small
Margin] [Chain] or [No Cut] for smaller margins.
