Instead, the printer uses heat from a thermal print head to print on specially treated labels. Labels are the only supplies you will ever need to buy. The form-feed button on the front of the printer advances a single label. The label eject button is used to remove labels from the printer when changing rolls. The status light visually shows the current state of the printer: • Solid blue - power is on and the printer is ready. • Flashing blue - labels are not loaded properly or the label roll is empty. • Dimmed blue - printer is in power saving mode. 2
