1.1

Overview

The BP-PR PLUS series transfer printers can be operated in thermal direct or transfer print mode.
With thermal printing, heat from the printhead results in printing to a heat-sensitive print medium.
With thermal transfer printing, heat from the printhead causes the color layer of a transfer ribbon to be
transferred to the print medium.
The printers are equipped with every common interface to ensure trouble-free connection to computers
and networks.
When using a memory card, the printers can also operate in standalone mode. By connecting a key-
board, variable data can also be entered conveniently in standalone mode.
The printers can be connected to AC mains networks from 100 V to 240 V without any kind of adapter.
The large graphic LCD display and the context-controlled navigator pad allow the printers to be moni-
tored and operated efficiently.
A variety of accessories allows the printers to be adapted to different product requirements.

Device types

The printers are available in a variety of models with different features.
1.2.1 Standard version
The standard version is used for printing labels or endless media on rolls or fanfolds.
In Tear-off mode, labels are removed by hand. Because there is no internal rewinder, automatic peeling
off of the labels from the liner (peel-off mode) and internal rewinding are not possible.
The labels can be cut off automatically with the 'cutter' accessory. For details, see documentation of the
cutter.
The labels can be wound up with the 'external rewinder' accessory. For details, see documentation of
the external rewinder.
1.2.2 Peel-off version
The peel-off version is prepared for peel-off mode and thus has an internal rewinder and a pulling system
comprised of a rewind assist roller and a locking system. Printing on labels or endless media from rolls
or fanfolds is possible.
Operation in Tear-off mode and with the 'cutter' or 'external rewinder' accessory is possible by installing
the tear-off plate (see "Operating Instructions"), as it is with the standard version.
In peel-off mode, the label is peeled off the liner after printing. The label can be removed by hand with
the peel-off sensor (accessory). The liner is rolled up via the internal rewinder.
For use in Internal Rewind mode, remove the locking system and replace the dispense plate with a
rewind guide plate. See "Operating Instructions".
