Congratulations on purchasing the QL-500/550.
Your new QL-500/550 is a label printer that connects to your personal computer, enabling you to quickly and easily print professional custom labels that
you have created on your personal computer using the label editing software provided.
This guide briefly describes the steps to start using your QL-500/550.
Refer to the User's Guide for more detailed information. The User's Guide can be found in the Manuals folder of the CD-ROM included with the QL-500/550.
General Precautions
• Do not expose the QL-500/550 to direct sunlight.
• Do not place or store the QL-500/550 near heaters or other hot appliances, in any location exposed to extremely high or low temperatures, high humidity or
dusty locations. Doing so could cause the machine to malfunction.
• Do not place any heavy objects or objects containing water on top of the QL-500/550. If water or any foreign object enters the QL-500/550, contact the retail
outlet where the QL-500/550 was purchased or your local authorized service center. If you continue to use the QL-500/550 with water or a foreign object in the
QL-500/550, the QL-500/550 may be damaged or personal injury could result.
• Do not insert any objects into or block the label output slot, or USB port.
• Use only the authorized power source for the QL-500/550.
• Never disassemble the QL-500/550 or get it wet with water to avoid possible fire or electrical shock. Do not remove the power cord from nor insert it into the
electrical outlet with wet hands. Doing so could cause an electrical shock.
• If the QL-500/550 will not be used for an extended period, remove the power supply cord from the electrical outlet.
• Always hold the plug when removing the power cord from or inserting it into the outlet. Pulling on the cord could cause a problem with the power cord.
• The standard electrical outlet shall be installed near the QL-500/550 and shall be easily accessible.
• Do not connect the QL-500/550 to your personal computer until directed to do so when installing the printer driver.
• To prevent injury from the broken cutter blade and unit, follow these points:
Close the top cover when operating the cutter unit.
Don't apply excessive pressure to the cutter unit.
When the cutter blade becomes dull, replace the existing cutter unit with a new one.
If the cutter blade should break off, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet and remove the
cutter unit carefully with tweezers so you do not touch the blade.
• If a paper jam should occur due to a buildup adhesive to the paper guide surface, unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet and wipe away the adhesive buildup on the paper guide surface with a
cloth dipped in ethanol or isopropyl (rubbing)alcohol. It is recommended that you clean the paper
guide when replacing the cutter unit.
• The average number of cuts is 5,000 or more depending on the operating environment. Dull cut, the
inability to cut straight, or frequent paper jams may indicate that the cutter life is near the end.
Replace the cutter if these conditions occur.
