can access the bottom.
Push to the right on the
battery cover release latch,
swing the cover open, and
lift it out.

Clean Printer:
For more information see
“Cleaning the Printer” on page 87
.
•
No Backfeed:
Applies only to continuous label supplies. After a label has been printed and cut
on a continuous label supply, about 1.5" (38.1 mm) of label material remains ahead of the
printhead, in a position where it would not be printed on. In order not to waste this label material,
the printer normally backfeeds (retracts) the label supply before printing. If the label supply has
been in the printer for awhile, the roller can leave an indentation on the label supply. When
retracted into the printer for printing, the print quality can be bad on the indentation. To resolve
this issue, select the
No Backfeed
check box. Printing starts at the current position leaving
about 1.5" (38.1 mm) of blank label at the leading edge.
Tip: If printing many labels you may want to avoid the excess blank area at the beginning
of each label. Clear the No Backfeed check box. If the first label is unsatisfactory,
reprint just the first label. To print a range of labels (from 1 to 1), see “Multiple Print”
on page 36.

contents, the pipe marker settings screen will show you the label and ribbon colors that you will
need to print the pipe marker.
• Default PipeMarker Symbol Category: When adding graphics to a pipe marker you have
to choose a category of symbols to select from. Setting this is a convenient way to have the
symbols most often used when creating pipe markers readily available. You can still select
a different category while creating a pipe marker. This option is only available when Clear
previous field values is set under On New Label Creation (see above).
•
Adjust PipeMarker Length to Characters:
The length of pipemarker labels is set to conform
to standards. This check box controls whether the length of the label will shorten if there is not
much text on the label.
Select the check box if you want the label to shorten when there is little text. This saves
label material. Clear the check box if you want the full size pipemarker regardless of the
amount of text.
In both cases the software gives you the option of increasing the label length to
accommodate text that is too long to fit on the standard label length.
Font
Choose the font to use when creating labels on the printer. Only one font type can be selected per
label file. These settings do not affect any currently open label file. They take effect for the next new
label file created.

your computer or mobile device, set up the connection to the printer, then use the software to design
labels and send them to the printer. (Refer to your local Brady website for other Brady software. Be
aware that older Brady labeling software may not automatically detect the printer and that the
information in this manual is based on the software listed below.)
• Use the Brady Express Labels app on a mobile device. (Wireless printer model only.)
• Use Brady Workstation software on a desktop or laptop computer.

Connecting the Printer
Once you connect the printer to the Brady Express Labels app on your mobile device, the app
remembers the printer for future use. Many people can connect an M710 printer to the Brady Express
Labels app, but only five people can use the printer connection at a time.
•
If fewer than five people are currently using the printer
, the Brady Express Labels app shows
the printer as available to anyone who has previously connected, and can find the printer for
someone connecting for the first time.
•
If five people are currently using the printer,
the Brady Express Labels app will not
automatically connect for the next person who attempts to use the printer. If the user tries to connect
manually, the app informs them that the printer is no longer available. For someone trying to connect
for the first time, the app will not find the printer until fewer than five people are using the printer.
When multiple people are using the printer, labels print in the order in which they are received. You
may experience a delay in printing if other jobs are ahead of yours.
To connect the printer to a mobile device via Bluetooth:
First, on the printer:
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
2. The printer comes with Bluetooth turned on. Look for the Bluetooth symbol in the lower right of
the display to verify that it is on.
If you do not see the Bluetooth symbol, turn Bluetooth on.
a. Press FN + SETUP. (The SETUP key is in the row of function keys. See “Printer

Brady labels and ribbons come equipped with smart-cell technology that enables the
printer to recognize the type of label and ribbon and automatically set many label
formatting details. Only use labels and ribbons that have the Brady Authentic logo.
Loading Labels
For optimum performance, use authentic Brady M710 labels. Labels designed for the M610 printer can
also be used, but require an adapter. See “Using the Label Roll Adapter” on page 22 for details.
Labels can be loaded with the power on or off.
Note: You can design a label on the printer without installing the label roll. However, if no label
supply is installed, the printer uses the characteristics of the last installed label supply to set
up the label. This means the dimensions or layout (like a two-sided sleeve rather than a flat
label) could be wrong for the label supply that you plan to print on.

over the printhead. Push slightly to snap into place. Then,
close the cover until it latches.
Note: If reusing a ribbon cartridge, turn the top spool of the ribbon
counterclockwise (down) to clear the printhead area of used
ribbon.
The color of the ribbon displays in the color of the text entered on the
editing screen. The amount of ribbon remaining in the cartridge
registers in the gauge in the lower right of the status bar.
The printer displays a message if no ribbon is installed. You do not
have to install a ribbon to create a label. However, if no ribbon is
installed the system defaults to the last known ribbon color used.
CAUTION! Hot part: Be careful when changing the ribbon cartridge because
the printhead may be hot.

Printing
There are several scenarios for printing from the M710 printer.
• Create a label on the printer, and print from the editor. See
“Print” on page 35
.
• Create a label in Brady Workstation and print it. See the help in the Brady Workstation app.
• Save a file to print later. You can save label files created on the printer and you can send files from
Brady Workstation. Files from Brady Workstation are stored as print jobs which contain all the
information needed to print. Print jobs cannot be edited on the printer; they can only be printed. See
“Saving Labels Created on the Printer” on page 79
and
“Storing Files Created with Brady
Workstation Software” on page 81
.
The following sections cover the print-related keys on the printer.
Print
For information how to print from software on a computer or mobile device, refer to your software

1. Press PRINT on the keyboard to print the
label. Print status is displayed on the screen
while printing.
2. When the label is done printing, press CUT on
the keyboard if the label did not automatically
cut.
Printing occurs in the background, meaning you can
continue to edit or create new labels while the file is printing.
If a print job is interrupted, for instance when labels or ribbon runs out, or you intentionally open the
cover, the system automatically stops the print job and displays a message. Follow the instructions on
the display to resume printing.

Mirrored Print:
Mirrored print takes all data on a label and flips it to provide a mirror image.
Mirroring displays on the printed label only. Mirrored print applies to the entire label; you
cannot mirror data in an individual area.
With Collate selected,
you get three sets of all
five labels.
With Collate cleared,
you get three copies of
label 1, then three
copies of label 2, and
so on.

Editing Labels on the Printer
Editing Text
Editing Text
If you have entered some text in error or want to change the content or format of your label, edit the
information before printing.
Positioning the Cursor
The cursor is a vertical line that marks the position on the label where text or other data will be entered.
See “Using the Touchscreen” on page 25.
To position the cursor when editing text, either tap the touchscreen where you want to place the
cursor, or use the navigation keys. See “Navigation and Selection Keys” on page 30.
Inserting Text
To insert additional text within a line of text:
1. Position the cursor at the point where text should be inserted.
2. Enter the text. Existing data positioned to the right of the cursor moves progressively to the
right to make room for the inserted text.
• If a fixed font size is selected, when the end of the line is reached, no more data can be inserted.
To add more data, either press
ENTER
to start another line or decrease the size of the font. (To
set default font type and size see,
“Font” on page 11
. To change the font attributes or size for
a line of text, see
“Font Size” on page 40
or
“Font Attributes” on page 41
.)
• If the font size is set to
Auto
,
as more data is added to a line of text, the font size automatically
decreases a point at a time until the smallest font size is reached. When the maximum
character limit is reached an error message displays. To remove the error message, press
ENTER
or
tap the error message screen.
• Press ENTER to start another line of text.
Deleting Text
To remove characters one at a time:
1. Position the cursor to the right of the rightmost character that you want to delete. See
“Positioning the Cursor” on page 39.
2. Press repeatedly until all the characters that you want to delete are removed.
M710 User Manual 40
Editing Labels on the Printer
Formatting Text
To clear all the data on a label or labels:
1. Press FN + . You are presented with the following options (the first one is enabled
only if you have multiple areas).
2. Tap the desired option.
3. If you selected Clear All, a message displays asking for confirmation. Tap Yes in the message.
If you do not want to delete the labels, press to cancel the Clear All function. You are
returned to the screen with all labels intact.
Formatting Text
Character and line formats called attributes change the appearance of the fonts, such as size, weight
(bold), angle (italics), underline, and expanding or condensing the text. Many of these can be set as
defaults from the SETUP menu, but you can change them on individual labels or lines.
Typeface
The typeface (font style) is determined in the setup menu and cannot be changed on individual labels
or lines. See “Font” on page 11.
Font Size
Font size applies to an entire line of data at a time and is measured in point size or millimeters, as
determined in the Setup function.
If the size is changed before the data is entered, all the data in the current and subsequent lines takes
on the new font size until font size is changed again. Changing the font size on pre-entered data
changes the size on the entire line, regardless of where the cursor is in the line. However, the font size
will not change on subsequent lines of pre-entered data. You must change the font size on each
individual line of pre-entered data.
Clear Option Definition
Clear Area Data Clears data only from an area, but does not remove the area
formats or the area itself.
Clear Label Data Clears data from the label, but retains all areas added to the
label. The label formats remain. If the file contains multiple
labels, data is only cleared from the current label; data on other
labels is retained.
Clear All Removes all labels in memory. You are returned to one single
label in General Mode, with all default settings reapplied.

until you press
ENTER
or the minimum font size is reached. When working with autosize and
multiple lines of text, all lines on a label maintain the same size. Autosize is the default setting
for all labels and is displayed as an ‘A’ in the upper left corner of the touchscreen.
Font Attributes
Font attributes (bold, italic, underline, expanded, or condensed) can be applied to an entire line of text
or to individual characters within a line of text. The attributes can be turned on before entering the text
or after the text has already been entered.
New Text
To turn an attribute on before entering the text:
1. Position the cursor where the attribute should take affect.
2. Press FONT.
3. Tap the desired attribute, then tap On (for bold, italics, and underline). For expanded select a

3. Hold SHIFT while moving the cursor with the navigation keys across the characters that will
display in super- or subscript. This highlights the characters.
Labels and Areas
Multiple labels can be created in one label file, with each new label being inserted immediately after
the current label.
Areas are used to apply different formatting (such as justification, rotation, and frames) to different
parts of a single label. Areas can only be added when using a continuous label supply set to auto
length mode (see “Label Length” on page 43). However, area formatting can be applied to pre-sized
labels that have pre-defined areas.
Note: You cannot set a fixed length of an area on a label that has multiple areas. The size of the
area is based on the amount of data entered and the font size of that data.
Add Label or Area
To add a label to a label file:
1. Press LABEL.
2. Choose Add.
The new label is inserted immediately after the current label and its number is reflected in the upper
right corner of the touchscreen. Each label added will be of the same label type.
If the existing label had multiple areas, the added label has the same number of areas and the font
size from the first line of data in each area is retained.
To add an area to a single label:
1. Press FN and AREA (FN + SHIFT + LABEL).
2. Choose Add.
A new area is inserted immediately after the current area and its number is reflected in the upper right
corner of the touchscreen. The font size used on the first line of the previous area carries over to the
new area.
Only the current area displays on the editing screen. Use the print preview to view the entire label. To
navigate between areas see “Move to an area” on page 30.
Label Length
Auto length is the default for continuous label supplies. With the length set to Auto, the label will be as
long as it needs to be to accommodate the entered data, up to a maximum of 40 inches. You can,
however, set a fixed length for a label. A different length can be set for each label in a file.
Note: To change the unit of measure for the length see “Units of Measure” on page 8 for more
information.

Justification
Justification refers to the alignment of data between boundaries (margins) on a label or in an area.
There are two types of justification: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal justification (H. Justify) aligns
data between the left and right boundaries of a label or area, while Vertical justification (V. Justify)
M710 User Manual 46
Editing Labels on the Printer
Formatting Labels and Areas
aligns data between the top and bottom boundaries of a label or area. Justification is applied to an
area or a label. It cannot be applied line-by-line.
To apply justification:
1. Navigate to the label or area where justification is to be applied. See “Go to Label or Area” on
page 44.
2. Open the label or area menu: press LABEL, or FN + AREA.
3. Choose H. Justify or V. Justify.
4. Choose the horizontal or vertical justification desired.
Every line of data on the label or in an area is justified according to the option selected. When adding a
new label, the justification maintains the current justification settings until it is changed. Different
justification can be applied to individual labels in a multi-label file or different areas on one label.
Rotation
Rotation flips the data on a label or in an area, counter-clockwise, at 90° increments. Rotation affects
all data on a label or in an area.
If rotation is applied individually to areas, you cannot apply rotation to the entire label.
Data cannot be rotated on a line-by-line basis. When adding a new area or label, the rotation is the
same as the previous area or label.
To rotate data:
1. Navigate to the label or area where rotation will take affect. See “Go to Label or Area” on
page 44.
2. Open the label or area menu: press LABEL, or FN + AREA.
3. Choose Rotate and select the degree of rotation.
If the font size is set to Auto, rotated data is automatically sized to accommodate the new label
orientation. However, if using a fixed font size, the rotated data may not fit on the label. If this occurs,

an error message displays indicating rotated text will not fit. The Rotate function is canceled and data
is not rotated.
Rotation is not reflected on the editing screen, although the degree of rotation is displayed in the upper
left corner of the screen. To view the actual rotation use “Preview” on page 35.
Note: The printer automatically sets the rotation based on the label supply. If you reinstall the label
supply, the rotation setting will revert to the default for the label supply.
Frame
A frame (border) can be added to an area or a label, but not to a line of text. You can have a different
frame, or no frame, on individual labels in a multi-label file. You can also place a frame on a label that
contains area frames.
Note: Frames can only be placed on continuous labels, not pre-sized labels.

Barcode
diacritical marks are available on the keyboard depends on the region in which the printer was
purchased.
Character on Keyboard
If you are in a region where letters complete with diacritical marks are on the keyboard, simply type the
letter if it is in white, or press FN and then the letter if it is in orange.
Key Combinations
To add a diacritical mark to a letter, press the key with the mark and then type the letter.
For example, to type Ü, you would press FN + , and then U.
Tip: Diacritical marks that can be combined with a letter are usually found on keys that only have
diacritical marks. Marks applied above the letter are usually higher on the key and marks applied
below the letter are usually lower on the key.
For more information on key combinations for keys that have multiple characters or symbols on them,
see “Keys With Multiple Characters” on page 29.
Barcode
Barcodes are generated following industry standard symbology. A typical barcode is composed of
vertical lines (bars) and spaces of varying thickness, depending on the text entered. It can also include
“human readable text.” Human readable text is the data entered that makes up the barcode. Because
you cannot read bars and spaces, you can have the actual text that makes up the barcode display.
Barcode elements support vertical resizing (height) only. The width of the barcode is based on data
and symbology and cannot be changed. However, some barcode widths (depending on symbology
used) can be altered by changing the ratio and density of the bar code.
Barcode data can be displayed in the same line as other data (text or symbols). It is not necessary to
have a separate area for the barcode. Barcode data on the same line as text will not overwrite the text
already on the line but will be placed next to it. Any text in the same line as the barcode will align on the
baseline with the barcode.
To type the white letter
on the key, press the key.
Press SHIFT and then
the key to change the
case (n instead of N).
To type the orange letter on
the key, press FN and then
the key.
Press FN + SHIFT and then

Barcode Settings
Before entering a barcode, determine the barcode symbology and attributes to use.
Note: Additional barcode types are supported in Brady Workstation software and the Brady
Express Labels app.
To access the barcode settings:
1. Press LABEL.
2. Navigate to and select Barcode. (For navigation help see “Menus” on page 27.)
3. Input the desired settings. For information on how to use the screen, see “Settings Screens”
on page 28.
• Symbology: This is the topmost field in the upper left. Select the type of barcode that you
want to use on the label.
• Height (or Max. Height): The height of a barcode can vary. For most symbologies you can
specify an exact height with a minimum of 0.1 inch (2.54 mm). For symbologies that are
composed of tiny squares, such as Data Matrix, the maximum height is specified.
• Bar Width: This changes the thickness of the bars and spaces within the barcode, which
in turn lengthens or shortens the barcode. Set the width, in pixels (dots), of the narrowest
bar of a barcode. (Not available for some symbologies such as QR and Data Matrix.)
• Ratio: The ratio of a barcode is the relationship of narrow elements to wide elements,
where elements are the bars and spaces. (Only available for some barcode symbologies.)
• Human Readable: Human readable text is the data entered that makes up the barcode.
Because you cannot read bars and spaces, you can display the actual text that makes up
the barcode. Human Readable text can be placed above or below the barcode symbology,
or you can choose to not display it. (Not available for some symbologies such as QR and
Data Matrix.)
For most symbologies, if you choose to display the human readable text, a field for the text
size becomes available. (The font size is not shown for some symbologies, such as EAN
and UPC.) Choose a size for the human readable barcode text.
• Check Digit: A check digit is used for error detection in a barcode. It consists of a single
digit computed from the other digits in the barcode. A check mark in the Check Digit box
turns the function on. This field is only available if the selected symbology supports check
digits. (Only available for some barcode symbologies.)
4. When finished, tap OK on the touchscreen.

Serialization (Sequential Data)
The SERIAL key automatically adds a series of sequential numbers or letters to the labels. The Serial
function consecutively places the next number or letter in the defined sequence on individual labels.
The number of labels created is defined by the sequence values you enter, and displays in the upper
right corner of the touchscreen. Use print preview to view the sequence before printing. See “Preview”
on page 35.
M710 User Manual 55
Editing Labels on the Printer
Serialization (Sequential Data)
Sequences can be combined with other data on a label. Any data displayed on a label that includes a
sequence will be repeated on every label along with the sequential data.
How Serialization Work
Serialization is alphanumeric, with numbers from 0 to 9 and letters A-Z. Serialization can be simple or
linked, with a maximum of two sequences per label.
Note: You can incorporate serialized data into a barcode.
Serialization consists of a Start Value, End Value, and Increment. The Start Value is the number,
letter, or combination of numbers and letters that begin the serialization sequence. The End Value is
the termination point of the sequence.
The Increment is the value that is added to the previous number in the sequence to produce the next
sequence number. (You cannot have an increment value of 0.) For instance, a start value of 1, an end
value of 25, and an increment of 4 would produce 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25.
Examples of Serialization
Simple Example
In a simple serialization, a sequence runs through its full range of numbers (0 to 9) or letters (A- Z), using
one number/letter for each label.
Example:
Start Value:1
End Value:10
Increment:1
Produces:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Simple Alphanumeric Example
You can combine letters and numbers in a single serialization. When the right-most character in the
Start Value reaches its maximum value (9, Z), the character immediately to the left is incremented, and
the right character cycles back to its minimum value (0, A)
Example:
Start Value:A1
End Value:D4
Increment:1
Produces:A1…A9, B0…B9, C0…C9, D0...D4
Advanced, Independent Example
In a multi-sequence serialization, where the second set of values is NOT dependent on the first set
(that is, the Linked box is NOT checked), the two sequences increment sequentially, independent of
each other.
Example: Two sequences that increment independently:
Sequence #1 Sequence #2
M710 User Manual 56
Editing Labels on the Printer
Serialization (Sequential Data)
Advanced, Dependent Example
In a multi-sequence “linked” serialization (the Linked box is checked), the second set of values is
dependent on the first set. The second sequence holds its initial value until the first sequence
completes, after which it moves to the next value.
Example: Two sequences that increment dependently.
Add Serialization
To add serialization to labels:
1. Position the cursor on the label where you want the serialization to display.
2. Press SERIAL.
3. Enter the values for the first (or only) sequence.
• In the Start Value field, enter the start value of the sequence. If the start value is larger than
the end value, the series will decrement automatically.
• In the End Value field, enter the end value of the sequence.
• In the Increment field, enter the amount to increment each value in the sequence. For
example, a sequence beginning with 1 with an increment of 2 yields: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and so on.
4. For a simple sequence, tap OK and you are done. If you wish to add a second sequence,
continue. The remaining steps result in one complex sequence on the labels. To have the two
sequences appear in different places on the label, see “To add multiple sequences, displayed
at different locations on the label:” on page 57.
5. Select the Add Seq 2 box.
6. Under Sequence #2, enter the Start Value, End Value, and Increment.
7. If you want the values to increment dependently, as described in “Advanced, Dependent
Example” on page 56, select Linked.
8. Tap OK. The sequence is placed on the labels and the total number of labels is shown in the
upper right corner of the touchscreen.
Note: Linked serializations do not have to display at the same position on the label. They can be in
separate locations within the label. See below.
Start Value:
1Start Value: A
End Value:
10 End Value: C
Increment:
1 Increment: 1
Produces: 1A, 2B, 3C, 4A, 5B, 6C, 7A, 8B, 9C, 10A, 1B,

List (Importing Data)
The List function enables you to produce multiple labels with variable information from a single,
formatted label (main document) and a structured data source.
The data source (or database) is a collection of organized, related data. It is often set up in the form of
a table, containing fields (columns) and records (rows). A field is one category of information for each
record, while the record is the combination of all the field information for one label.
For example, if you are going to print asset tags, they might include the asset number, serial number,
department, and brand. The data for each asset would be in a row and the columns would be for the
asset number, serial number, department, and brand.

The data in the data source file is merged to the label. Each field displays in a different
area of one label. Each record (row of data) displays on a different label.
• Tap
Ignore
if you do not want to add additional areas.
The fields from the data source sequentially merge into the label, depending on how many
areas are defined on the label. If you have four fields in the data source but only two areas
defined on the label, the first two fields merge on to the label. The other fields are ignored
and will not display on the label. (If you want to choose which fields to merge onto the
label, use the advanced merge feature discussed below.)
Advanced Merge
Use the advanced merge feature when your database has more fields (columns) than you have areas
on the label and you want to control which fields will be used and in what order.
To merge only some fields in a database:
Note: If you don’t want to use all the columns of data, it is best to set up the desired number of areas
on the label ahead of time. See “Add Label or Area” on page 43.

The 110-Block label type is based on user-selected pair configurations, with the length of the label
determined by the pair type selected. The label height uses a dedicated 110-Block label height of
0.475 inch (12.1 mm). The length of a 110-Block label is 7.5 inches (190.5 mm), with a total strip length
of 7.9 inches (200.7 mm). The number and formatting of areas is based on pair configuration and
serialization selected.
Bix Block template information is similar to the 110-block, with some variations on height and length of
strip. The label height uses a dedicated Bix Block part height of 0.625 inch (15.9 mm). The length of a

6 File Management
A single label or a number of labels can be saved as a file, to be opened and reused at a later date.
Note: Labels using continuous and pre-sized label supplies cannot be combined in the same label
file. All labels in a label file must use the same label part number.
Saving Labels Created on the Printer
You can save labels as internal or external files.
• Internal files are labels stored directly on the printer.
• External files are labels stored on some external device, such as a USB drive.
File Naming Standards
To create a file on the M710 printer, the file must be given a name. Names can be up to 20 characters
long and can consist of letters, numbers, and spaces.
When creating files, remember this rule: You cannot have two files with the same name. If you do, the
most recent file with the name will overwrite the previous file with that name. A one-character
difference in the name creates a different file and will not overwrite a previous file.
Folders
To better organize your data, place similar label files into folders. Similar files could consist of all labels
for a specific project, or all files that use the same label supply, or specific label applications.
Instructions on creating or selecting a folder are within the instructions for saving a file below.
Saving a File
To save labels as a file:
1. Press FN + FILE.
2. Choose Save.
The memory location dialog box displays ONLY if an external source is attached to the printer.
3. If a USB drive is attached to the printer, the printer asks where to save the file. Tap Internal to

Brady Workstation computer.
Files from Brady Workstation are stored as print jobs which contain all the
information needed to print. Print jobs cannot be edited on the printer; they can only be printed.
Therefore
storing a print job this way also serves to prevent edits.
Follow the steps below to store a print job on the printer, then see “Opening a File” on page 82.
To store print jobs from Brady Workstation on the printer:
1. Make sure the printer is connected to the computer with the USB cable.

Updating the Printer Label Library
Printer Label Library files are included in a database of label and ribbon part information that enables
the printer to work optimally with various supplies.
Update Label Library files periodically to make sure the printer has data for any new label supplies.
Also, update if you have ordered a custom label supply from Brady and it came with new Label Library
files.
The simplest way to upgrade the printer’s Label Library files is to use Brady Workstation software.
To update Label Library files from Brady Workstation:
1. Connect the printer to a computer that has Brady Workstation installed. The computer must be
connected to the internet.
2. Run the Brady Workstation software and open the Printers tool, which indicates when
upgrades are available.
3. See the help in the Printers tool for more details.

Cleaning the Printer
A cleaning kit is included in the printer package. This kit contains a disposable BMP71 cleaning card
which is designed to safely and effectively remove all dirt, ribbon ink residue, adhesive, and other
contaminants from the thermal printhead, platen roller, and paper path. The kit also includes a pre-
moistened cotton swab for cleaning the cutter blade and the sensors.
Cleaning the printer will improve print quality and legibility. It also increases output, machine life,
printer reliability and performance.
Cleaning Internal Components
Use the cleaning card to clean the printhead, platen roller, and label path.
