3. Operating Instructions

Once the Brady 130756 labels are loaded into your BBP85 printer, you can begin designing and printing your custom ANSI Notice signs.

• Design Your Sign: Use the BBP85 printer's software or interface to design the specific message you wish to print below the pre-printed "NOTICE" header. Ensure your design adheres to relevant safety standards and best practices for clear communication.
• Print Settings: Select the appropriate label type and size settings within the printer software to match the 7" x 10" dimensions of the 130756 labels.

Proper maintenance and storage will ensure the longevity and performance of your Brady 130756 ANSI Notice Labels.

• Storage: Store unused label rolls in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This helps preserve the adhesive quality and material integrity.
• Handling: Handle label rolls by the edges to avoid transferring oils or dirt to the adhesive or printable surface.
• Printer Cleaning: Regularly clean your Brady BBP85 printer's print head and rollers as per the printer's manual to ensure optimal print quality and prevent label jams.
