Steps for setting up the

WPL205

1. Unpack

Remove the WPL205 from the box and

place it on a stable, flat surface. Remove

all tape and padding. Within the plastic

bags containing parts for the printer you

will have:

• printer unit

• Windows labeling

software/driver CD disk

• sample label roll

• label spindle (1 inch

diameter core)

• 2 label spindle fixed tabs

• 2 1.5” core adapter

• Centronics interface cable

• auto switching power supply

• power cord

2. Connect to Your Computer

Make sure the power switch is off.

Connect the printer to the computer with

the Centronics or USB cable.

3. Connect the Power

Plug the DC power cord into the power jack

at the rear of the printer, and then plug the

AC power cord into a properly grounded

receptacle.

4. Load Labels

1. Insert the 1” label spindle into the label

roll. If your paper core is 1 inch, you can

remove the 1.5” core adapters from the

fixed tab. If the label width is 4 inches

wide, the two fixing tabs are not required.

Center the labels on the Spindle.

Open the printer’s top cover by releasing

the yellow top cover open levers located

on both sides of the printer and lifting the

top cover.

Place a roll of paper into the internal paper

roll mount.

Feed the paper, printing side face up,

through the label guides and place the

label over the platen.

Adjust the black center-biased label

guides in or out by turning the adjustment

knob so they are slightly touch the edges

of the label backing.

Close the printer top cover slowly and

make sure the cover locks securely.

Note: Failure to securely close and lock

the cover will result in poor print

quality.

5. Install Drivers

Turn the printer on and wait for the LED to

turn green. Put the Driver CD into your CD

ROM drive. The driver install program should

run automatically but if it does not, run

PrnInst.exe on the root of the CD.

Follow the prompts to install the drivers and

set up the printer.
