How to install Brother 4"x6.5" DT Premium Paper Label

To ensure optimal performance, follow these steps for loading, calibrating, printing, and applying your labels:

1. Prepare your printer and media: Verify that your direct-thermal printer is configured for 4" x 6.5" media. Check that you have the correct label stock and that the environment is clean and free of dust. Inspect the rolls for any damage before loading.

2. Load the label roll: Insert the 8" OD roll into the printer’s media supply area. Align the 3" core with the printer spindle, ensuring smooth rotation without any lateral wobble. Feed the label path so the label surface faces the correct direction for printing and feeding.

3. Calibrate media settings: Access the printer’s media calibration feature and select 4" x 6.5" as the active media size. Run a feed test to confirm that the label edges align with the print head and that the barcode and text are centered and properly contained within the label boundaries.

4. Test print and adjust: Print a test label containing sample text and a barcode. Confirm readability, contrast, and integrity of the printed elements. If necessary, adjust print darkness, speed, and temperature settings to optimize for this specific stock and ensure consistent results across batches.

5. Print, peel, and apply: Print your required labels, then allow the surface to settle briefly if needed. Apply the labels to clean, dry surfaces, pressing firmly to ensure adhesion. For best results, store unused labels in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain adhesive properties and label integrity.
