3. Setup and Loading Instructions
Proper loading of fanfold labels is crucial for smooth printing and to prevent jams. Always refer to your specific thermal printer's manual for detailed loading instructions, as procedures may vary slightly between models.
General Loading Steps:
- Prepare Labels: Ensure the fanfold labels are neatly stacked and free from bends or creases.
- Open Printer: Open the label compartment or feeder of your thermal printer.
- Insert Labels: Carefully feed the labels into the printer's input slot. Ensure the printed side is facing up. The labels should feed smoothly without resistance.
- Adjust Guides: Adjust the label guides on your printer to snugly fit the width of the 4x6 labels. This prevents skewing during printing.
- Close Printer: Close the printer's cover or compartment.
- Calibrate (if necessary): Some printers may require calibration after loading new labels. Follow your printer's instructions for calibration to ensure proper label detection and print alignment.
Important Note on Label Orientation:

Always ensure the side of the label intended for printing is facing upwards when loading into your thermal printer. Incorrect orientation will result in blank labels or misprints.
4. Operating Instructions
Once the labels are properly loaded and your thermal printer is connected to your computer or system, you can begin printing. These labels are designed for clear and efficient output.
Printing Process:
- Software Setup: Ensure your shipping software or application is configured to print to your thermal label printer and that the label size is set to 4x6 inches.
- Print Command: Send the print command from your software. The printer will automatically feed and print on the Labelife thermal labels.
- Peeling Labels: After printing, the labels are easy to peel off from their backing thanks to the perforated line between each label.
- Applying Labels: Apply the printed label firmly to your package or item. The strong adhesive ensures it stays in place during transit.

5. Maintenance and Storage
Proper maintenance and storage of your Labelife thermal labels will ensure their quality and performance over time.

- Packaging: Keep unused labels in their original packaging to protect them from dust and environmental factors.
- Handling: Handle labels by the edges to avoid transferring oils or dirt from your hands to the thermal surface, which can affect print quality.
