Label Dispenser - SATO M-5900RV Operator And Technical Reference Manual

Label Dispenser

PN 9001081
Rev. C
The M-5900RV Label Dispenser Option is an external mechanism that provides
the ability to print labels in the "demand" mode. It is attached to the front of
the printer. When the label dispense is installed and configured for operation
the printer dispenses one label at a time, peeling the backing from the label
which allows for immediate application to the product by the operator.
Operator Setup
The following steps should be taken to set up the Label Dispense option.
1. Install the Label Dispense Option, following the instructions provided
with the unit.
2. Power the printer ON.
3. The printer must be configured to use the Label Dispense option.
Switches DSW3-1 and DSW3-2 on the front panel are used to configure
the printer. To enable the dispenser, DSW3-1 and DSW3-2 should be in
the ON position.
4. Remove enough labels from the backing paper to provide 12 inches of
backing free from labels.
5. Open the Print Head assembly and feed the backing paper through the
print area in the normal manner.
6. At the label exit area, feed the backing paper down and behind the
Knurled Roller, then back down and around the Backing Roller.
7. .eed the backing paper out the slot in the bottom rear of the printer
and attach to the Backing Rewind Spindle.
8. Close the Print Head and place the printer on-line.
9. The Label Dispense option is ready to use.
General Operation
Send your data stream in the normal manner to the printer. Labels should
print one at a time, even if your print quantity command requests more
than one label. As the labels are printed and presented for the operator to
remove, the backing paper will be rewound on the spindle. The next label
will only print after removing the current label from the label exit path.
NOTE: The label dispenser will function only if it has been enabled using the
front panel switches DSW3-1 and DSW3-2 in the ON positions.
The Label Taken Sensor is adjusted at the factory for the optimal setting for most
label material. However, the use of labels with a substantially different opacity
may require that the threshold be adjusted.
