29 Preparation 1. Connecting the AC adapter Connect the AC adapter that comes with your LABELShop BEE3 to supply power from the electrical outlet (AC120V). 1 2 Connect the AC adapter to the connector on your LABELShop BEE3 firmly. * Be sure to connect the adapter as far as it can go so as to supply power steadily. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into the electrical outlet. Unplug the AC adapter from both the device and the outlet after use. This may prevent possible accidents caused by tripping over the cord. When handling the AC adapter cord, be sure not to pull it forcibly or bend it repeatedly. This may break the cord. The safety feature of the device may cut the circuit of the AC adapter when the plug shorts out or on other occasions. LABELShop BEE3 warranty does not apply to the AC adapter. Getting Started 25

30 2. Installing the batteries Your LABELShop BEE3 also works with batteries when an electrical outlet is not available. Six AA alkaline batteries are required. 1 Remove the battery cover. Take off the cover while releasing the tab. Be sure to turn off the power before installing the batteries. 2 Insert the batteries. Insert six AA alkaline batteries with the correct polarity as shown. 3 Close the battery cover. Adjust the two tabs to the holes of the main unit, and close the battery cover firmly until it clicks. 26 Getting Started

31 Use AA alkaline batteries only. Other types of battery have short lives, and the message to notify the user that the battery is running out may not be displayed. The batteries are used for storing files, text data you entered on the LABELShop BEE3. Even though you can print only with the battery power, it will shorten the battery life. To minimize the battery consumption, always use the AC adapter or the optional Truck/Auto adapter (LSTA-3B)whenever using the LABELShop BEE3. You can print labels with batteries installed, however, it is strongly recommended that you connect either adapter before printing. Be sure to replace the batteries with the power turned off to avoid the stored data on the LABELShop BEE3 from being deleted. Also, do not keep the LABELShop BEE3 without the batteries for more than four minutes. Otherwise all of the text data or settings you entered or saved may be cleared. Make sure to use the AC adapter only. Print speed becomes slower when the AC adapter is not connected. Printing on the wide tape will temporarily cause the device to consume a large amount of current, and can cause the device to display "Change Batteries" even if new batteries are installed. This is normal operation for the device. Print speed becomes slower when the batteries are running low, then "Change Batteries" appears on the display. Replace all the batteries with new ones or connect the AC adapter immediately, otherwise the LABELShop BEE3 may turn off in the middle of the operation or during printing. New AA alkaline batteries will supply enough power for the device to print on one tape cartridge (0.7" x 26') at room temperatures. However, when you operate the device in cold places or print on wide tapes, the life span of the batteries becomes shorter. You are recommended to use the AC adapter as much as possible. Do not use an AC adapter other than the one designed for this printer. Make sure to turn off the power after use. If your LABELShop BEE3 is not to be used for long periods, remove the batteries from the device to avoid possible leakage. Dispose of the used batteries according to your local regulations. Getting Started 27

32 3. Installing tape cartridges 1 Tighten the ink ribbon Insert a pencil or a similar tool into the hole of the tape cartridge and turn it slightly toward the direction of the arrow. 2 Open the top cover Make sure that the power is turned off beforehand. Do not lift up the device by holding the top cover. 3 Install the tape cartridge Insert the tape cartridge fully with its label side up until the cartridge is secured by the fixing tab of the main unit. When installing a new tape cartridge or one with an extended tape end, straighten the tape end and pass it through the tape guide. Insert the cartridge with its label side up. Straighten the tape end. Pass the tape end through the tape guide. 4 Close the top cover. Hold down the cover gently to close. If you close the top cover without inserting the tape cartridge, your LABELShop BEE3 or the tape cartridge may be damaged. 28 Getting Started

33 Removing the tape cartridge To ensure proper and beautiful printing, the tape cartridge is secured to the main unit firmly. To remove, place your fingers on the tabs provided on both sides of the cartridge as shown in the figure, lift the tabs straight up to pull out the cartridge. Tabs LABELShop BEE3 supports five different width of the tape cartridges (4mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm). Number of lines printed on the tape varies depending the tape width. See "Adding New Lines (Line Break)" (p.49). Tape cartridges should be stored in a dark cold place away from direct sunlight, excessive temperature and humidity, and dust. It is recommended that you use the tape cartridge as soon as possible after opening. When installing the tape cartridge, insert it firmly as far as it can go. The maximum character size printable on 212-width and 218 width tapes are the same. When the tape cartridge that is not supported by the LABELShop BEE3 is installed, a message; "Check Tape!" or "No Tape!" appears. Reinstall the supported tape cartridge properly. Getting Started 29

34 4. Turning the power on Observe the following precautions before you turn the power on. Is the AC adapter connected to the LABELShop BEE3 and the electrical outlet? Are the batteries installed properly? (When operating the device with the batteries alone.) 1 Press.

Text you have entered remains even after turning the power off. When the device is turned on again, the text appears after the selected length unit is displayed. Selected options for the settings such as font and text size are also indicated. See "Display Indicators" (p.20). Auto power-off If there is no activity for approx. five minutes, the LABELShop BEE3 automatically shuts down in order to save battery power. (Text you have entered remains.) Press again to restore. In order to save battery power, it is recommended that you turn off the power manually when the device is not to be used. 30 Getting Started
