LX3000 Set Up
Remove the print head, power supply, and USB cables.
Remove documentation.
Remove the top foam shipping spacer. Save the boxing materials in case you ever need to send it in for repair!
Lift the printer out. It is probably best to have a helper. This guy is super strong.
Remove the bag.
Open the cover.
Remove the cardboard holding the sample roll and ink tanks.
Remove the blue tape securing the print head carrier.
Reference the Quick Start and keep it for future users.
First, install the ink tanks.
Each color has a corresponding slot. First, match Magenta to Magenta.
Hook the chip to the slot.
Make sure to push it all the way in. This is NOT correct.
Each tank is keyed at the bottom to only fit in one slot.
Push it all the way in so the chip holder is below the tab.
There it goes.
The chip on the tank identifies the color and tracks the ink remaining.
Next, locate the Print Head.
Remove it from the packaging.
He is serious about removing that packaging.
Remove the red cap protecting the ink tube inlets.
Remove the nozzle tape.
Lift the carrier latch and hold it up while you install the print head.
Close the latch.
Next, connect the power.
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
Plug it in.
Connect USB.
USB is the top port. Ethernet is the middle port.
Switch the printer on.
Now it's time to install label stock. It comes with a small sample roll.
Remove the wrapping.
It is best to cut off and discard the labels with the tape attached.
Lower the Roll Guide and pull it outward to make room for your label stock.
Install the label roll and push it inward until it touches the Roll Stop.
Flip up the roll guide and push it against your label stock.
Place the leading edge of the label stock under the "label stock" symbols on the Throat Guides.
Slide the Movable Throat Guide inward until it almost touches the label stock.
Feed the label stock further into the Printer until it senses the label and automatically feeds it through the Printer.
Let's watch that again.
There should be about a 1mm gap between the moveable throat guide and the label stock.
Close the lid.
