QL-800 Quick Start Guide
Use the instructions in this guide to quickly set up your new QL-800 printer. For detailed
information about printer operation, please refer to the QL-800 User Guide.
After installing the printer driver, you can access the QL-800 User Guide by choosing Start >
All Programs > QuickLabel QL-800 > User Guide.
Unpacking the Printer
1. Remove the accessory box and packing materials from the shipping carton.
2. With help from another person, lift the printer out of the shipping carton.
The printer is heavy and moving it requires two people. One person should lift the
front by the indicated lift point, while the other person should lift the back by the
indicated lift point. Do not lift the printer by the mandrel. Lift the front of the printer by
the recessed handle. Lift the rear of the printer by the flat area of the purple frame
above the mandrel. Keep the printer level while lifting it.
3. Place the printer on a sturdy, flat horizontal surface that can support at least 100 pounds
(45.4 kilograms).
4. Remove all packing tape from the printer exterior. This tape is used to secure the doors and
covers in place.
There is also tape holding the maintenance cartridge in place. Open the main side door and
lower side door to access and remove this tape.

5. With the main side door open, remove the yellow transport unit shipping lock by rotating it
counterclockwise approximately 45 degrees, aligning it, and then pulling it straight out.
Save the lock for future shipping purposes.
Note: The printer will function with the transport shipping lock installed. However, the
transport unit cannot be removed while the lock is in place.
6. Grasp the transport unit handle and pull the transport unit straight out of the printer. Then
reinstall the transport unit. Ensure it is fully inserted in the printer.
7. Close the main side door but leave the lower side door open.
8. Grasp the maintenance cartridge and pull it straight out of the printer. Then reinstall the
maintenance cartridge. Ensure it is fully inserted in the printer.
9. Close the lower side door.

Installing Ink Cartridges
For safety, keep ink cartridges out of the reach of children. If ink is accidentally ingested,
contact a physician immediately.
1. Open the main side door. Open both ink cartridge latches [1]. Each latch can be opened by
pressing down on the top of the locking mechanism and pulling outward.
The ink cartridge latches have labels showing where each ink color will be installed.
2. Slide in the ink cartridge, nozzle end first, label side up. Push the cartridge in all the way.
You will feel slight resistance near the end of this process as the nozzle engages the ink
needles inside the printer. Repeat this step for each color.
There are sharp needles in the ink cartridge slot. Never put your fingers in this area.
The printer is designed so that ink cartridges cannot be inserted in the wrong slots.
Do not attempt to insert ink cartridges in the wrong slots.
3. Close the ink cartridge latches. Then close the main side door.
Installing the Printhead
The printhead is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Use ESD protection when
handling the printhead.
Do not touch the printhead cartridge ink couplings, nozzle surface, or the electrical
contacts when installing the printhead cartridge. Hold the printhead cartridge ONLY by
the handles.
To avoid drying out the printhead, do not open the printhead packaging until you are
ready to use it.
Open the printhead packaging over an appropriate receptacle to safely capture any
excess shipping fluid.
1. Ensure the printer is powered on and the ink cartridges have been installed.

2. Open the top cover.
3. Make sure the printhead latch [1] is in the open (vertical) position. Remove the cap
protectors [2] from the two fluidic couplings.
Note: The printhead latch will be in the open position. Do not close the latch before
installing the printhead. If the latch is accidentally closed, do not pry it open. Turn the printer
off and back on again. The latch automatically opens during power up if no printhead is
installed.
4. Remove the printhead from the packaging.
Note: If the foil packing is damaged, report the issue to Technical Support or your reseller.
Do not place the unprotected printhead cartridge on any surface. Protect the
printhead cartridge at all times from contamination such as dust or fibers.
5. Wipe any excess shipping fluid from the printhead cartridge with a clean, lint-free cloth.
6. Remove the orange protective plastic cover from the printhead cartridge, holding the
printhead by the handle.
• Remove the flaps covering the ink ports.
• Remove the clip holding the cover near the center of the printhead cartridge.
• Carefully remove the protective cover. Do not touch any of the ink ports or nozzle plate
after the orange cover is removed.

7. Hold the printhead cartridge by the handle with one hand. Carefully remove the protective
plastic strips with the other hand.
• Grasp the pull tab and slowly peel back the plastic strip covering the electrical
contacts.
• Grasp the pull tab and slowly peel back the plastic strip covering the printhead
nozzles. Maintain an angle of no less than 45 degrees with the printhead surface when
pulling on the strip.
Dispose of the removed strips immediately and do not allow the removed strips to
touch the electrical contacts or printhead nozzles.
8. Carefully remove the plastic bracket from the printhead cartridge.
9. Point the ink ports away from the front (label exit side) of the printer.
10. Align the printhead cartridge with the printhead slot.
11. Tilt the top of the printhead cartridge toward the back of the printer, about 20 degrees. Then
gently place the back of the printhead cartridge into the print engine.
Avoid touching the printhead connector circuit board inside the printer.
