4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Perco Lite ink rolls and pricing gun:

• Storage: Store unused ink rolls in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent drying out.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Perco Lite pricing gun or ink rolls, consider the following:

• Labels Not Feeding Correctly:
  • Verify that the label roll is properly loaded onto the spindle and guided through the mechanism.
  • Ensure the labels are centered and not jammed.
  • Check for any obstructions in the label path.
