How do I open a Pricing Gun

Just purchased a shiny new price gun, eager to tackle your product labeling? This quick guide will walk you through the process of opening your price gun with ease. 

The first stage is to identify the type of price gun you have, as each model has a different entry mode. Identify your price gun type here, with a guide to unlock:

Single-Line Price Guns: These are typically the simplest models, with a latch or button on the handle for opening.

  1. Locate the latch or button – it might be near the trigger or on the side of the handle.
  2. Press and hold the latch or button.
  3. With the latch or button depressed, gently pry open the front casing of the price gun and insert your labels.

Tackling Two-Line Price Guns: These might have a similar opening mechanism to single-line models, or they might have a designated release button or lever on the side.

  1. Look for a button or lever on the side of the price gun, near the label compartment.
  2. Press and hold the button or lever.
  3. With the button or lever held down, gently open the front casing of the price gun.

Digital Price Guns often have a dedicated compartment for label rolls, accessed through a button or latch on the device. The exact method might vary depending on the model, so consult your user manual for specific instructions, but here’s a general idea:

  1. Locate the button or latch for the label compartment, typically on the back or side of the price gun.
  2. Press and hold the button or latch.
  3. With the button or latch depressed, gently open the compartment to access the label roll.

Top Tips for Price Gun Success

If the price gun doesn't open easily, don't force it. You might be using the wrong technique or there could be a malfunction. Although this blog provides a general guide, your price gun might have specific opening instructions. Keep hold of and refer to your user manual for detailed steps. If you're still struggling, don't hesitate to contact the manufacturer's customer support or refer to online resources for your specific model.

By following these steps and referencing your user manual if needed, you'll be a price gun opening pro in no time. Remember, don’t force it, be patient and make sure you are supplying the labels compatible with your price gun, so no jamming occurs.
