About the Label Dispenser
The label dispenser accessory, which includes the Label Taken Sensor,
removes the liner from self-adhesive label stock as each label is printed.
You manually remove the label at the front of the printer.
After you load media, you need to configure the feed adjust settings.
You may need to adjust the recommended values slightly depending
on your media type, supply method, and roll sizes, or because of
individual differences between printers.
Load Media for the Label Dispenser
To use the label dispenser accessory for printing, you print labels on
self-adhesive label stock with a liner. As each label is printed, the label
is automatically peeled from the liner and is presented at the front of
the printer for manual removal.
The label dispenser includes a label taken sensor. After you load media,
perform a test feed or calibrate the sensor before you begin printing.

Note: Some media types will not work successfully with the label
dispenser. For best results, use media types with high label stiffness
and low liner release force. High heat and high temperature can
degrade media performance when used with the label dispenser.
