How to install Brady WorkHorse Multipurpose Label

• Prepare the surface: Clean the target surface with a dry cloth or isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, oil, and residues. A clean surface promotes optimal adhesion and long-term label performance.
• Load compatible media and ribbon: Insert the WorkHorse label stock into your thermal transfer printer and install a matching ribbon suitable for polyester stock. Calibrate printer settings for the correct label thickness and print density.
• Configure print settings for legibility: Use high-contrast print settings, verify font size, and ensure the barcode symbology is appropriate for your scanning system. Run a test print to confirm edge crispness and readability.
• Print and inspect: Print sample labels and inspect for clear characters, complete barcode darkening, and accurate alignment. Recalibrate if necessary to prevent misprints or partial labels.
• Apply with care: Remove the liner and firmly apply the label to the prepared surface, smoothing from one edge to the other to avoid air pockets. For curved surfaces, gently conform the label along the contour and press evenly to ensure full contact.
